Not too many people getting excited about this one, but it could be one of those classic struggles that the patriotssometimes have when they play in Florida. Of course because the patriots are heading to Fllorida the weather has decided to ramp it up a bit.

The Cheatriots will prevail in Miami. It will be because of the injuries and the refs. Right @FlyerFinFan and @Paolo305613 ?

To be fair, what would you choose? Either insisting the patriots cheat or admit your team hasn't been relevant for the past 20 years?

Okay, I might be exxagerating a bit. The fins have had a couple of moments of relevency in those 20 years. 2003 comes to mind.

Since you invited me over I'd like to adjust that as I'm more worried about Gases play calling he's been brutal this year especially on 3rd and short. Burke hasn't been that much better he probably should have been fired already. Either way the Fins are a young team actually surprised that they are 6-6 especially with their horrific coaching. Injuries haven't helped the cause but it is what it is. Interior oline was bitch slapped by buffalo. Refs shouldn't be as much of a factor in Miami but if in NE I have no doubt strange shit usually happens there...

Obviously new to Pats games in South Florida. Throw out the records and expectations when these two meet on their home turfs.

Brady 7-10 in Miami, and he's taken better teams down there than this one and lost.

Meh I am not worried about that. I just think the Pats whoop that ass this time. Just got a vibe nothing other than a vibe.

 

[TP76]

Hope you're right YR... seen too many South Florida stinkers from Brady to be optimistic.

One would think bookies would know that too?

 

[TP76]

Oddsmakers set the betting line on popular betting expectations - not on who they think will win. Kind of like your expectations.

Yet everybody is surprised when the Pats get beat down there - except Pats fans, who see it often.

I hear ya...

Brady's worst games have been in Miami. If his QB Rating is 93 or higher the patriots win. If it's below 90, the Patriots lose. Talk about a QB's play affecting your game.........................geeeeeezzzzzuuuzzzzz

Brady is the first to say football is a team game when reflecting on his accomplishements. Same goes for the failures. If a team plays poorly a QB is more likely to have a lower rating. I'm not saying he's been a victim, just that like wealth, poverty is spread too.

Dolphins top CB Howard is looking like he might not play Sunday. Made an INT last Sunday and got tackled low and hard and his knee didn't like it. H ewas expected to take Gordon and/or Hogan depending on who was lined up on his side.

They'll come to play and should win.... By 6

 

[nefansince75]

Back to the discussions of how poorly the Pats have played in Miami, I wonder how many of the losses have been Sept and early October with temps in the 90's. Also how many have been when the Pats had locked in playoff position and the fins had something to play for (including pride). We know there was that one "Wildcat" game that was a bit of an exception, but belongs on the list..

Pats are 1-4 in the last 5 road games in Miami. Miami wins this weekend. I hope I'm wrong.
