The Dolphins looked like "fish out of water" early this season, but since parting ways with head coach Joe Philbin, they've looked like a completely different team. Whatever Dan Campbell is doing in Miami, so far it's working wonders for the Fish. I'll take the Dolphins as a dog here in New England.
Here are my keys to the game:
1. Ryan Tannehill - The Miami quarterback has thrown for 548 yards with six TDs and two INTs in back-to-back wins over Tennessee and Houston. As impressive as that sounds, it is nothing in comparison to his completion percentage in those games. He completed 40-of-48 passes, that's an incredible 83%.
2. Injuries - The Patriots are banged up on the offensive line with Nate Solder done for the year, and Marcus Cannon ruled out for this game. DE Jabaal Sheppard has also been ruled out, and RB Dion Lewis is listed as a game time decision.
3. X-Factor - The Patriots didn't have a lot of success running the ball last week, with Jame White and LeGarrette Blount totaling one yard on five attempts. This left the door open in the closing minutes, as they were unable to run out the clock on their final possession, allowing the Jets to drive down the field and kick a FG, followed by a success onside kick.
Selection: This is a play on the Miami Dolphins (10*)
