Looking at the upcoming NFL matchup, we've got the Miami Dolphins heading to New England to spar with the Patriots. Now remember my friends, history is a fickle matters in love, war and sports, but it has been slightly favoring the Dolphins during their recent exchanges. It’s something like owing your friend $5 and having it hanging over your head. Unfortunately, both teams are up a creek without a paddle in terms of their regular season records, each with an unimpressive 1-3.
Now let's get to the fun part, the players. Dolphins fans, don't you fret, Tua Tagovailoa and Skylar Thompson have been slinging the pigskin adequately enough for the past month. Though Patriots fans, you've got Jacoby Brissett at the helm and his 77 percent passing efficiency off 101 attempts is not too shabby, thank you.
The Dolphins have some decent offensive footing with Devon Achane and Tyreek Hill hitting impressive numbers over the last month, proving to be serious yardage earners. The Patriots reply with Rhamondre Stevenson and Antonio Gibson's commendable stats, which sure aren’t left crying in the corner.
Now onto our quarterbacks' protectors, the knights of the gridders, the defensive teams! Dolphins' Jordyn Brooks and David Long are hanging in there, showing they aren't afraid to get their jerseys dirty. Patriots, you aren't so unfortunate either, with Jabrill Peppers and Jahlani Tavai also showing up on the grid.
Oh, and just a quick bleep about the standings, Dolphins are at spot four, gasping for air in AFC East while Patriots are slightly ahead on spot three.
So, here we go, spoiler alert and drumrolls, please. Considering all the gyrations, the scribblings, and my gut feeling which always craves tacos, here is the prediction.
Albert’s Prediction: Miami Dolphins by 1
