Prediction:
Games in Miami are always tough for the Patriots. The place has been a house of horrors for them since the early days of the AFL. Whether it is the heat and humidity or something else, the Pats seem to always play poorly there.
But this matchup regardless of how banged up they are favors the Pats. Miami’s rushing defense is particularly awful this season and their pass defense is nearly as bad. Their offensive line has problems protecting Tannehill and they pass far too much with a pair of talented running backs in Miller and Ajayi for their own good.
Look for the Patriots to be aggressive in getting after Tannehill who is beat up. He had his leg wrapped after the Colts game last week and had blood in his urine. His toughness isn’t questioned, but his decision making is when under pressure.
The Patriots should generate enough offense to put them behind early and cruise to the #1 seed in the AFC. Patriots 27-13
