New England Patriots vs. Miami Dolphins: Initial situation
Going into Week 5 with only one win is something that does not look like a promising scenario. Both the Patriots and the Dolphins have lost the last three games and their confidence is not on the needed level. One of these teams will sink even deeper after this game and choosing the winner is not easy since the Patriots are only -1-point favorites.
New England Patriots Stats & Form
The New England Patriots started a new era in franchise history after Bill Belicheck left the head coaching position. The legendary coach brought six Super Bowls in 23 years leading the team. Jerod Mayo has big shoes to fill and it is clear that the Patriots will need to go through a long rebuilding process. This season started well as the Patriots won 16-10 on the road against the Cincinnati Bengals. However, things gone downhill since then as the Patriots lost the following three games. First they failed against the Seattle Seahawks in overtime, then lost to the New York Jets after scoring only three points in the game and are now coming off a 30-13 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. That was the first time since 1971 for the Patriots to be held under 150 yards passing in each of the first four games of the season.
Miami Dolphins Stats & Form
The Miami Dolphins went in the right direction last season and their fans expected them to be even better this year, but things are not going as planned. The Dolphins are only 1-3 to start the season and are at the bottom of the AFC East. They won the opening game of the season beating the Jacksonville Jaguars 20-17 and that is all we saw from them as they lost the next three games and failed to score more than 12 points in each of those. They are coming off a 31-12 home loss to the Tennessee Titans and there is no doubt that the Dolphins are in a deep hole. the Dolphins’ offense is simply not the same without Tua Tagovailoa, who remains on injured reserve with a concussion.

Betting tip and prediction: New England Patriots – Miami Dolphins (06.10.2024)
Things are not going well for the Miami Dolphins as they are losing their identity with Tua Tagovailoa being out with an injury. Terron Armstead is also questionable for the Sunday game which is another huge issue for the Dolphins. They have been very dominant in recent years against the conference rivals, but the New England Patriots look ready to end the losing streak against Miami. Patriots’ QB Jacoby Brissett has not thrown more than 168 yards in a single game this season and he will need to step up in order to lead his team to a win. However, even without Tagovailoa and Armstead, the Dolphins are the better overall team and will responded with their back against the wall, so we go with Miami winning this one on the road.
