This is a 10* AFC EAST TOY on the UNDER Dolphins/Pats.

New England's defense once again looked sharp in last week's 25-20 loss to the Eagles.

Mac Jones had 315 yards passing, but averaged only 5.5 yards per throw. The defense though I thought looked excellent once again for the Pats.

The Dolphins pulled off the unlikely upset on the road last week, coming from behind to knock off the Chargers 36-34 as 3-point dogs. Now they're favored on the road vs. a division rival.

Next week they're back at home to play Denver.

It's New England with its back against the wall early. The game-plan will remain the same for Jones and company. Long sustained drives on offense, combined with suffocating defensive play.

I say the overall situation definitely points to the UNDER as the correct call as far as the total is concerned in this one.

Good luck, NP
