New England at Miami

How things have changed in the AFC East. Last year Miami was 1-15 and New England was 16-0. This season, the teams are tied at 6-4 and Miami is going for the season sweep. New England was a 12-point favorite in the first game and lost 38-13. Now Miami is favored and I like their chances. Throw out the prior stats and perceptions. Right now Miami is at least as good as New England. And, at home, they have a big advantage. Bill Belichick has a tough task in this one - how much should he prepare for the Wildcat offense? In their first meeting, he had no answer for it, leading to Miami's convincing win. He'll be more prepared here, but that means less prep time for Miami's standard offense. The Pats are still smarting on defense as Adalius Thomas Rodney Harrison are out and Ty Warren, Eric Alexander, Terrence Wheatley and Lewis Sanders are all day-to-day. This is the biggest game in Dolphin Stadium in years. I expect the atmosphere to be electric and for the Dolphins to make a statement.
