OddsChecker: Go with the Dolphins to cover vs. Patriots

It writes: "Tua is in a funk and 9 times out of 10 facing a Bill Belichick defense would only make that worse. That isn’t the case for him though, as he’s undefeated against the Pats in his career. With history on his side and warm weather likely, even with the potential for rain, that bodes well for Miami. If it’s going to be a tight low scoring game it’s an easy choice to take Tua over Mac Jones."

Sporting News: Patriots 27, Dolphins 24

Bill Bender writes: "The winner controls their own destiny in the AFC Wild Card race. The Dolphins are 3-5 on the road and in the midst of a four-game losing streak. The Patriots are 3-4 at home and have lost four of five games. Miami won the first meeting 20-7 in Week 1 and has a chance to win five in a row in the series. Bill Belichick gets in the way."
