New England Patriots @ Miami Dolphins Monday Night Football Pick

New England Patriots @ Miami Dolphins Monday Night Football Pick: Oh the Patriots are an interesting beast, just a couple weeks ago they got blasted by the Detroit Lions in the pre-season, and that was a game where Thomas Brady and company were in for a big chunk of that game. The young defense that was supposed to get better over the offseason with big additions up front and the maturing of the youth got shredded by Matthew Stafford and the rest of the Lions.

But that’s just one game, right, and I can’t change everything I believe about the Patriots over just one game. I see a really good team that always hits the regular season running. A team that got better over the offseason while adding two wily vets (Chad Johnosn and Albert Haynesworth) that will come to play at their full potential.

I don’t think the Dolphins are consistent enough to get it done here. They have some upside, some big play guys, definitely – but they still don’t have a great offensive line, and Chad Henne won’t be better without a running game to lean on. I’ll take the Pats.
