Live NFL - New England Patriots at Miami Dolphins 6pm Sky Sports

An interesting game. Tannehill has been given a great coach, a better system and a beefed up O line (the poor guy spent more time climbing off the turf than anyone else last year) and I expect Miami to have more joy on offense. 

The problem is, I don't like them on defense; they look shaky at the corners and their linebackers are poor. That wouldn't necessarily be fatal, but Brady rolls into town with a lot more healthy options downfield and a run game that looks robust too. I doubt the Gronk will go (am I really second guessing Bill lol?) and Ridley will doubtless fumble, but Vereen will trouble the fins catching out of the backfield and Brady will take his shots.

If Miami establish the run and maintain the tempo on offense, it might be close, but Mr Revis will have something to say about Tannehill's choices deep.

I'll give the points again.

Pick: New England Patriots -4.5 @ 2.0

Pick: 1st TD Julian Edelman @ 11
Pick: Anytime TD Mike Wallace @ 3.0
