Brady and his Patriots will head down to South Florida as heavy 18.5 point favorites.

Th spread marks the largest for a road team since the 2007 Patriots were also favored by 18.5 in a game against the Baltimore Ravens.

However since 2013, the Patriots have lost 5 of their last 6 games at Hard Rock Stadium.

In what remains one of the most perplexing stats of Brady’s career, he is 7-10 lifetime when playing in Miami, by far the most road losses against one team.

For perspective, Tom Brady has as many losses in Miami since 2013 (1-5) as he does at Gillette Stadium (50-5).

During his Wednesday press conference, Brady acknowledged the importance of an early season divisional win in a place the team has historically struggled.

“It’s a challenging place to play. I think it’s challenging when they come up here; I think it’s challenging when we go down there. It’s just, I think, dealing with a lot of different elements and showing mental toughness. Last year, I thought we played a pretty good game, but what coach reiterates is 60 minutes. In football, a lot of crazy things happen. You can’t assume that – you know, these guys are extremely skilled and they’re great players. So, we just can’t take our eye off of what the goal is, and that’s to play a great 60 minutes of football against a team that we’ve always struggled against there. It’s a division game on the road early in the season, so it means a lot. “
