Many reasons to worry about Miami
1) First Monday Night Game Of The Season and the Home team hungry for a win and the fans revving them up
2) Brady has historically struggled in Miami with some of his worse defeats there
3) Revenge for the beatdown in Miami last season where the Pats looked like they dominated but covered up by 3 STs blunders that made the game look much worse than the scoreboard said
4) All teams believe they can win the division and this gives the home team the edge in momentum early
5) The home dog on MNF when being an underdog by 3 or more points has a fantastic win ratio against the spread
6) No one knows what this team has on the front defense besides Wilfork and Mayo....Preseason shows a faint glimmer but not enough to take seriously
7) Cameron Wake,Cameron Wake,Cameron Wake
8) Brandon Marshall has said he has something to prove this season
9) The Dolphins defense,especially thier secondary is vastly underrated and there is no real downfield threat for a quick bomb so we must hit the slot area and short field gains and run effectively to win
The positive thing is that Win or Lose,this is week 1 of a 16 game regular season and even if the Pats lose its not going to be the end of the world.
