Predictions For New England Patriots @ Miami Dolphins

With our Miami Dolphins hosting the New England Patriots tomorrow afternoon, I asked the two customary prediction questions this past week. Below are the questions, with some of your answers to each.

A) What will be the final score in this week’s Miami Dolphins game against the New England Patriots?

B) What other predictions do you have for the upcoming game against the Patriots? (stars of the game, etc.)

Alley Gator sees the Phins win by reverting to their old ways.

I expect a big dose of Rhamonde Stevenson running and receiving, short passes to TE’s Hooper and Henry to try to keep our offense off the field. Last week, the Rams WR’s Puka and Kupp both went over 100 yards on the Patsies, so we’ll revert to bombs away to Hill and Waddle. NE dominates time of possession, but we win on a couple of big plays. Dolphins 21, Pats 13

Alpha6 has the Dolphins more than double up on the Pats off a solid day from the defense.

Points: Dolphins 35, Cheatriots 17 There will be a pick 6 by the Dolphins’ D. There will be 4 sacks by the Dolphins’ D to go with that.

62Lou predicts that the overwhelming talent of the Phins wins the day.

Miami SHOULD WIN this game, at home against a rookie QB.
These division games are tough tho, and I expect a real fight. But Miami simply has TOO MUCH TALENT TO LOSE, unless McNerd and Tua blow it.
NO EXCUSES – FIRE THE NERD IF WE LOSE…
Miami 27 NE 20..

the spread of Miami at -7.5 is too much, we barely covered last week at the 3:19 mark in the 4th qtr. a blown coverage on the TE saved us, after needing 10 and 12 play drives all day, we got a cheap one.

DolphinsKings1 sees domination on both sides of the ball.

Pathetics 16 Dolphins 40 (I see a smack down)!

daytonadolfan is a day late but was shorted no dollars…

A day behind but I think it will be 31-13 Dolphins!

finfanfromsiam has the Phins winning a close one.

This is still a division game so not going to predict a blowout. We have a tendency to make rookies and nobodies into Montana. So going with 23-16. For stars of the game going with Jonnu and Achane.

David7777 is predicting the Pats to have their worst game of 2024. That’s a very low bar!

Worst game of the year for the Patriots
3 Interceptions and 2 Fumbles D-Line all over Maye this game
Dolphins 42-10

Tua2HillWaddle sees the defense keeping New England out of the endzone.

Fins 29-12. 2 fumble recoveries and 2 pics deep in NE territory. Defense only allows 4 fg’s.

EzDz73 predicts a struggle of a game resulting in a win by a TD for Miami.

This will likely be another hard fought division game. I predict the Fins for the win, 27-20

heatforlife sees Juliann Hill’s play as an indicator of the direction of the team.

when juliann hill has a good game u know things are trending in the right direction.pats gonna be a close game .think we win but not by much.30 24 fins.need fuller back healthy kohou on the bench forever.duck cb 3 cam cb4 kohou cb0.

Dolfanjoe believes that the Pats are already tanking.

Pat’s battling for the # 1 spot in the draft! Which they are hoping to trade for first-rounders for years to come. They will put on a show and see it Fins 27 Pat’s 17 . 10 – 10 at halftime worrying the local supporters !

SabanpickedCulpepper is unhappy with the new ball control offense that the Phins are running.

Defense needs to force punts, when our offense takes 8 minute drives and kicks fgs and our D can’t get off the field it’s counter productive. We’re actually decreasing our number of offense possessions

Spok507 is a fan of the new ball-control offense.

One game at a time. Ball control and clock control will bring us a win and we inch closer to getting a play-off berth. It’ll be a complete change of pace for the Fins to actually be peaking at the right time of the season and have some forward momentum carrying them into the Thanksgiving Prime Time game at Green Bay. I’m ready for it. Just concentrate on beating NE; control the LoS on both sides of the ball, stick with the ground game, take what the defense gives and force NE’s rookie QB into making mistakes.
As for the injury report, maybe Poyer should actually practice instead of ‘rest’ — seems like he could use the reps. McMorris was a full participant, so maybe he’ll see action and replace Poyer. We can only hope. Fuller is still out due to concussion, but this is week 3, so I’m hoping he’ll be off the list soon. We need Kohou back in the nickel and not covering the boundry until he remembers how to tackle. We also need Ingold back to help the run game. We’ll know more after today’s injury report.

SlayerNation1 predicts that the Phins will win but once again fails to close out a game early.

MIA 27 NE 16
Similar to last week, Miami never trails but allows
NE to hang around unnecessarily, until the 3rd quarter.
NE will extend drives with Maye’s mobility and easy pitch and catch to TEs Henry/Hooper.

Miami’s newly found ball control offense works again due to the fact they never trail. Waddle and Holland again do very little. Jonnu and Achane are the offense again,

TommyNascar believes that we should have already given up on the season.

We will win, end up 9-8, miss the playoffs and stuck in the mediocrity cycle. I would rather we lost out starting a few weeks ago, pull the tooth now, get the #1 pick and grab a new qb to start building for the future. I just don’t see championship caliber here now.

Well that’s our random selection of comments this week. There is a lot of positivity from the fans, at least here at the Phinsider overall. Well, from most of you. Time will see! Thank you to each of you who took the time to read and comment on our question of the day post. Please join us tomorrow afternoon for our live thread to follow our Miami Dolphins against the New England Patriots.

Hialeah delays decision on proposed homeowner rebate until October

Hialeah delays decision on proposed homeowner rebate until October

Proposed Hialeah homeowner rebate delayed until October
03:14

A decision on whether Hialeah homeowners with a homestead exemption will receive a rebate has been postponed until Oct. 14, following debate at a city council meeting Tuesday.

Council debates rebate proposals

Council members discussed the proposal but did not reach an agreement, saying the money offered for a rebate was not enough and could hinder the city financially.

Interim Mayor Jaqueline Garcia-Roves, who is running for mayor in November, has been pushing to provide money to residents to ease financial burdens. Last week she proposed a $120 rebate.

Council member Jesus Tundidor, who is also running for mayor, has put forward higher figures.

Garcia-Roves backs $200 rebate

“I am proposing 200 dollars, if the council wants to go lower than that we definitely cannot go higher,” Garcia-Roves said. “I am cutting some projects a little shorter. There’s a lighting project that we’re assigning a million dollars a year, we’re going to lower it to 750,000 so it’s just a little bit.”

Tundidor pushes for $300

“I will be proposing a $300 rebate to homestead properties in the city of Hialeah,” Tundidor said. “It’s frustrating to see when we were having a discussion on the mileage rate. And today she wants and I intend to make sure the residents get their money back.”

Cost to the city

If the $200 rebate proposed by Garcia-Roves had been approved, it would have cost the city about $6.2 million, with funds coming from reserves and some projects, officials said.

Budget vote next week

The rebate proposal was not approved. Council members are scheduled to vote on the city’s budget next Thursday.

If they want to provide homeowners with a rebate, they will have to amend the budget.

The debate comes as Hialeah prepares for elections in November.

Dolphins vs. Bills odds for Thursday Night Football Week 3

Dolphins vs. Bills odds for Thursday Night Football Week 3

The Miami Dolphins have started the season 0-2 and will now have a short week to prepare for their AFC East rivals, the Buffalo Bills, who are off to a 2-0 start and again look like the class of the division. While Buffalo opened the season in sync and ready to go, Miami has looked like they are sleepwalking through the early part of the season as they have struggled to find their rhythm.

The opening odds for Week 3 have been released, and the oddsmakers have not missed how much of a mess Miami has been in the early portion of the season. The Dolphins are not just underdogs for a primetime game on the road on a short week, but they are nearly two-touchdown (with the extra point) underdogs. The opening odds as of Sunday evening have the Bills favored by 12.5 points. The point total is 49.5. The Dolphins are +610 for the straight-up upset win; the Bills are -900 on the moneyline.

Will the line grow to reach the two-touchdown (and extra points) mark? Will money bring the line back toward the Dolphins? And, more importantly, will Miami find a way to upset the Bills and come away with their first win of the season?

Detroit Tigers collapse in 11th inning in 6-4 loss to Miami

Detroit Tigers collapse in 11th inning in 6-4 loss to Miami

The Detroit Tigers lost to the Miami Marlins, 6-3, in 11 innings.
Kerry Carpenter homered in the third inning to drive in two for the Tigers.
Charlie Morton allowed two runs over four rocky innings for the Tigers.

MIAMI — The Miami Marlins beat the Detroit Tigers, 6-4, when Troy Johnston hit a walk-off homer – his second of the game – in the 11th inning.

The Tigers were locked in a 3-3 tie late against the Marlins at loanDepot Park in the middle contest of a three-game set on Saturday, Sept. 13.

Tigers reliever Tommy Kahnle, who was pitching for just the second time in six days, was given the eighth inning and he shut down Miami – three up, three down – with nine pitches. That’s a good sign for the Tigers’ postseason hopes.

After the Tigers failed to score in the ninth, right-hander Will Vest was brought in. Vest had not pitched since Sunday, Sept. 7, but he came out sharp. After getting the first two batters, Victor Mesa Jr. hit a sharp liner to left field but Riley Greene tracked it down.

In the 10th, Vest returned for his second inning and it was wildly dramatic. To open the inning, Javier Sanoja popped up a bunt and Vest caught it and fired to second, doubling off Mesa, on second as the automatic runner. But any sense of relief was short-lived. After the Marlins put runners on second and third, Liam Hicks lined out to Trey Sweeney at short.

In the 11th, the Tigers took the lead when Wenceel Pérez doubled to right, knocking in Greene, the free runner, to open the inning. Soon after, Colt Keith was walked to load the bases with nobody out. Dillon Dingler struck out. After the Marlins turned to lefty Josh Simpson, he threw a wild pitch, but the ball bounced off the backstop and Spencer Torkelson, coming home from third, was tagged out at the plate. The Marlins then intentionally walked Jahmai Jones and struck out Parker Meadows to hold the Tigers to one run from a bases loaded with no outs situation.

Rafael Montero pitched the 11th, and nearly got out of a runners-on-first-and-third jam, inducing a ground ball from Heriberto Hernández to defensive replacement Javier Báez. But the Tigers couldn’t turn the double play, and the Marlins tied it up and brought Johnston back to the plate.

The Tigers (84-65) will finish this six-game, two-city road trip on Sunday, Sept. 13 (1:40 p.m., FanDuel Sports Network Detroit) with a bullpen game against the Marlins (70-79). Detroit’s magic number to clinch the American League Central remained at eight, with the Tigers’ division lead on Cleveland shrinking to seven games, with the Guardians playing the Chicago White Sox on Saturday night.

Charlie Morton dances through trouble

Right-hander Charlie Morton got the start for the Tigers and he spent the better part of the afternoon walking through a minefield of his own making.

Miami scored first off an Agustín Ramírez double, a Dingler throwing error and an Otto Lopez single. Not that it really mattered, but he probably would have scored even without the throwing error.

Morton made the situation more dramatic when he was called for a balk – after throwing to first three times without picking off the runner – and Lopez advanced to second. But Morton got out of it when Hernández grounded out to third.

He got into trouble in the second when he walked Acosta, he advanced to second on a ground out and scored off a Javier Sanoja double. After walking Marsee, he was in serious trouble. But he got out of it by striking out Ramirez to end the inning.

He got into trouble again in the third inning after a pair of walks but got out of it when Maximo Acosta grounded out to thid as Colt Keith made a nice running throw.

Morton was done after four innings, giving up two runs. He gave up three hits and walked four but had four strikeouts.

Melton gives Tigers a chance to win it

Troy Melton, the 24-year-old rookie right hander, had another solid performance, pitching in his 13^th game.

He gave up a tying homer to Johnston – who came into the game with just one in his career – in the sixth inning but Melton was otherwise solid. He went three innings and tried to sneak annother inning in by walking to the middle of the dugout, but Tigers manager A.J. Hinch walked down the dugout to track him down and shake his hand, signalling the end of his outing.

Melton threw three innings, giving up a run off two hits and left the game after the seventh inning with the score tied, 3-3.
