AFC East Showdown on Sunday Night: Patriots vs. Dolphins

<p>Foxboro is set to witness a thrilling AFC East divisional battle as the <strong>New England Patriots</strong> host the <strong>Miami Dolphins</strong>. The Dolphins, fresh from a sensational 36-34 victory against the <strong>Los Angeles Chargers</strong>, are one of the teams to watch this season. Miami&#8217;s win, especially as a three-point underdog, was truly noteworthy.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, despite putting up a gritty performance, New England failed to cover as a home underdog in their 25-20 loss to a slightly off-paced Philadelphia offense. The burning question is: Can the Pats elevate their game as a home underdog against Miami in the upcoming Sunday night football matchup?</p>
<p>The Patriots&#8217; solid secondary is one of their key strengths, which they&#8217;ll need in abundance against Miami&#8217;s fiery duo &#8211; <strong>Jaylen</strong> <strong>Waddle</strong> and <strong>Tyreek Hill</strong>. <strong>Tua Tagovailoa</strong>, Miami&#8217;s star quarterback, is in red-hot form, having thrown for more than 400 yards in the last game. Assuming the rain doesn&#8217;t play spoiler like last week, the turf conditions in Foxborough might tilt the advantage slightly in favor of the Dolphins.</p>
<p>The betting markets are rightfully buzzing about the Dolphins. The line initially opened at -2 but soon shifted to -3, highlighting the Dolphins&#8217; current form and potential.</p>
<p>However, let&#8217;s not forget that even against the formidable defense of the <strong>Philadelphia Eagles,</strong> <strong>Mac Jones</strong> of the Patriots managed to throw for over 300 yards. Yes, a face-off against the high-flying Dolphins might not be the ideal time for a shootout, but dismissing New England could be a mistake.</p>
<p>While <strong>Bill O&#8217;Brien</strong> and his Patriots might be tempted to employ a game plan focused on consuming the clock by focusing on the run, it&#8217;s clear that they need to be on the front foot scoring-wise to stand a chance. After all, despite their recent offensive masterclass, the Dolphins showed some defensive vulnerabilities against the Chargers.</p>
<p>This gives ample reason to believe that the Patriots if they get their strategies right, can indeed put Miami on an upset alert this weekend.</p>
<p>Both teams have their strengths and vulnerabilities, and it&#8217;s all set for a Sunday Night Football showdown to remember.</p>
