The Dolphins face off against the New England Patriots in this week 1 matchup in the NFL. The Patriots will be lead by Cam Newton at quarterback, and I expect their offensive scheme to adjust to plays designed around a dual-threat quarterback. I feel the Patriots will rely more on the run until they can gage how effective their passing can be with their top target being Julian Edelman. On defense, the Patriots are still a force but wide reciever DeVante Parker could give them some problems on the deep ball.
The Dolphins will be lead by Ryan Fitzpatrick at quarterback, and I expect them to be throwing a lot because of how poor their offensive line is. DeVante Parker will be relied on heavily in this one to try and get the job done. The Dolphins are kind of unpredictable on defense as of now, but I expect them to be a bit better than they were last year.
I like the Patriots to cover the spread here. Cam Newton has a lot to prove as well as Bill Belicheck and I feel the Dolphins will fall to the Patriots 24-16
