Patriots vs Dolphins Prediction

The current betting odds have the Dolphins listed as a 7 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Dolphins haven't looked great in their games this season with their 4-6 record overall which has them in 2nd place of the AFC East but still way out of the division race with the Bills pulling away. They still have a chance to make a Wild Card spot, but they have a lot of work to do. Their season got derailed due to an injury to their starting QB, but Tua is back now and the offense has looked a lot better with him leading. They lost their first 2 games when he came back, but they were much closer games as they improved a lot, and now they have some momentum on their side with 2 wins in a row. Meanwhile, the Patriots have looked terrible in their games this season with their 3-8 record overall which has them right near the bottom of the AFC East and pretty much out of the playoff race. They have looked a lot better on offense since starting rookie QB Drake Maye, but their defense has still been giving up a lot of points this season. The Dolphins already beat the Patriots when Tua was out injured, now he is healthy and this will be a really different game where the Dolphins don't struggle to move the ball. The Patriots don't have the weapons on offense to keep up with the Dolphins and the Dolphins have looked better on defense in their last 2 games too. The best way to place a bet here is on the Dolphins to cover the spread in this game. 

Patriots Dolphins Prediction:  Our NFL Pick for Sunday, November 24, 2024 (1:00 pm ET start time) is Dolphins 28 Patriots 17.
