Patriot fans how does it feel to be the underdog against the Fins
 
This is incredible how in the world can a team that was 1-15 last season be favorite to win this game against a team that went 16-0 last season ?

Fins have been playing better football (4 in a row), are at home, and already beat the Pats once (convincingly) so I'm really not surprised.

That said, the line I saw was -1, and since home field is worth 3 points, that means Vegas thinks the Pats are 2 points better on a neutral field. That said, I'd expect the line to move to the Pats being favored by gametime.

it feels like the Fins deserve to be favorites in this. They crushed the Pats last time and have gotten better since and are at home. As a Pats fan, I think the Pats will win if they play up to their capability, but there's definitely plenty of Dolphin players who are smelling the playoffs that they haven't been to in quite some time, and the Pats are going to have to pull out a very strong effort to win.

I welcome the underdog mentality. Lets get back to ugly Pats football. We always won those games. 2007 is history. Time to get back to those grind it out wins.

It adds weight to the notion that the good and bad teams really aren't separated by much.
