The Dolphins (-2.5) jump right into the AFC East pool to open their 2021 NFL betting schedule with a Week 1, late-Sunday road test vs. the Patriots in Foxborough, Massachusetts in what should be a tightly-contested game between divisional rivals.
Is a projected leap forward from second-year starting QB Tua Tagovailoa, combined with an above-average defense, enough for you to bet on the road underdog? Or do the prospects of Patriots rookie QB Mac Jones tearing through the Dolphins secondary have you ready to go with the home favorite? Let's take a 'Bet Check':
Miami opened at (+2) in May - at a variety of sportsbooks - before the Patriots took some money to being the spread up a tick.
This one is tricky, at least to the naked eye, because the Patriots recently shipped away Cam Newton - shortly after discarding of a featured RB. But NFL bettors shouldn't take the bait. Jones will be operating behind a solid OL and plenty of talented options on offense. And paired with a Top-5 defense, the Patriots will be a smart betting option all season long.
The Dolphins, on the flip side, are still breaking in plenty of new pieces on offense and will arrive in New England with a reconfigured offensive line - for now. Not exactly, a winning proposition considering they are going up against a very good defense line.
'Bet Check' recommends taking a look and leaning, slightly, on the total of 44 - if you can find it at your sportsbook of choice. Opened at 43.5 in most shops, the total went up as high as 45.5 before apparently settling at 44. And if you think the Patriots will ease their quarterback's way through the playbook, at least early in the season, and the Dolphins will manage to control New England's running game, the under play makes sense.
