It\u2019s clear that their backfield is very limited as far as workhorses go, so the Patriots will have to be successful through the air to win this week and virtually every week.<\/p>\n<p>This week, the Dolphins will aim for Randy Moss when he\u2019s matched up against Jason Allen and Sean Smith. Allen was abused regularly last week by Jets wideout Braylon Edwards, which bodes very well for Moss.<\/p>\n<p>Many people feel the Patriots can\u2019t run the football but they have a secret weapon: former Div II standout Danny Woodhead. He had a number of key runs last week against the Buffalo Bills and his role could expand this weekend. If you\u2019re a fantasy football enthusiast, keep an eye on him.<\/p>\n<p>On defense, the Patriots need to attack the center of the Dolphins offensive line. With three new starters in the middle, the Patriots will expect defensive tackle Vince Wilfork to have a big game and disrupt both the running and passing games. Center Joe Berger will matchup against Wilfork and when the two locked horns last year, the Dolphins only finished with 96 rushing yards. <iframe allowtransparency='true' src='http:\/\/ff.connextra.com\/Bodog\/selector\/client?client=Bodog&#038;placement=Ext_RS_Sports_250x250&#038;cxt_aff_id=151627&#038;tclk=http:\/\/www.bodog.eu\/welcome\/151627\/' class=\"alignleft\" style=\"margin: 1px; border: 3px solid #FFFFFF;\" width='250' height='250' scrolling='no' frameborder='0' style='border-width:0'><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>How Can Miami Win?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t be intimidated by the Patriots, just like the New York Jets were two weeks ago.<\/p>\n<p>Regardless of what anyone says, the Patriots are no longer the dominant team they once used to be. While their passing game hasn\u2019t been at fault, their running game and porous defense have been.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, the Pats run defense is ranked 20<sup>th<\/sup> in the NFL and for the Dolphins, that\u2019s music to their ears. They\u2019ll feed the ball to Ronnie Brown and Ricky Williams, and then mix in the Wildcat formations for good measure. The Patriots have struggled in the down-and-distance battles, which should allow Miami to get into a lot of short-and-makeable third down situations.<\/p>\n<p>Miami took a tough loss at home last week but they proved their mettle. When it looked like the Jets had finally taken control of the game, quarterback Chad Henne moved the team down the field and nearly go them back on even footing to tie the game.<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s not going to be pressured much in this contest and his job will be to simply find the open receiver and make smart decisions. He is coming off of a game where he threw for a career-high 363 passing yards and with the Patriots ranked 25<sup>th<\/sup> against the pass, he should be in line for another solid game.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Outlook<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Patriots have struggled on the recent dating back to last year and that will continue on Monday night. They\u2019ll get out to an early lead with a Brady-to-Moss connection but the Dolphins will hammer away with the running game and eventually take control.<\/p>\n<p>The Dolphins have the better running game and the better defense. Combined with the fact that they are playing at home this week, that will lead to an important win and cover for them.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Monday Night Football Trends:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>New England is 16-8 SU in its last 24 games<br \/>\nNew England is 4-2 SU in its last 6 games when playing Miami<br \/>\nMiami is 15-6 SU in its last 21 games when playing at home against New England<br \/>\nMiami is 2-4 SU in its last 6 games<br \/>\nThe total has gone OVER in 5 of New England&#8217;s last 5 games<br \/>\nThe total has gone UNDER in 7 of New England&#8217;s last 10 games on the road<br \/>\nMiami is 2-4 SU in its last 6 games at home<br \/>\nMiami is 2-4 SU in its last 6 games when playing New England<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pick: Dolphins +1<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bodog.eu\/welcome\/151627\/betting-offers\/baseball-betting-bonus.html\" rel=\"nofollow\">10% Deposit Bonus!!
