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.

‘An insane memory’: New World Cup super hero plays in Miami but not with Messi

‘An insane memory’: New World Cup super hero plays in Miami but not with Messi

Curacao better make some room for a new national super hero.

Eloy Room delivered for his tiny Caribbean nation one of the finest performances in World Cup history on Saturday night, making 15 saves against a relentless Ecuador attack and helping The Blue Wave earn its first-ever point with a 0-0 draw against La Tri.

The outcome also allowed Germany, which beat Ivory Coast earlier in the day, to clinch Group E.

“It’s going to be an insane memory,” said Room, who plays for USL Championship club Miami FC. “You don’t think about it when you do it but of course it’s going to be something you look back to. For me as a goalkeeper, this is almost a perfect game.”

The 37-year-old Room, whose shutout of Jamaica last November sent Curacao to its first World Cup, bounced back in historic fashion from a 7-1 loss to Germany. His save total was one shy of the record — since saves became an official stat in 1966 — of 16 set by Tim Howard of the U.S. against Belgium on July 1, 2014, in a game that Room remembers watching.

Howard needed 120 minutes for his total, though. Nobody has made more saves than Room without extra time.

“I think I need a statue in Curacao now,” he said with a smile.

The draw doesn’t eliminate either team from knockout play, but it put Ecuador in dire shape going into its group finale. Those matches take place Thursday with Curacao facing Ivory Coast in Philadelphia and Ecuador playing Germany in New York.

“Well, there are things you cannot explain in football,” Ecuador coach Sebastian Beccacece said. “We wanted to win. We didn’t do it. I am the one who bears responsibility, and I told my team, ‘If you’re giving it all, competing, I have no complaints.’

“As long as we are alive, we will continue to give it our all. We are very united. We are like a family. No one said it would be easy.”

Ecuador certainly had a home-field advantage Saturday night at the home of the Kansas City Chiefs. Its fanbase, dressed like its players in bright yellow shirts, filled the stadium to the brim, making it look like a convention of Minions. There was only a couple of small pockets of blue-clad Curacao fans in a stadium whose capacity could house half of its island citizenry.

Among those in the crowd were Kansas City Royals players Bobby Witt Jr., Salvador Perez and Starling Marte.

And King Willem-Alexander and Queen Maxima of the Netherlands, who began a memorable day in Houston cheering the Dutch past Sweden, then flew to Kansas City to watch a constituent country within the Kingdom of the Netherlands make history.

“They were even dancing in the locker room to our music,” Room said. “That’s unreal that they witnessed this game.”

The pressure mounted on Ecuador earlier Saturday, when Deniz Undav’s goal in stoppage time lifted Germany to a 2-1 win over Ivory Coast. The outcome of that match in Toronto meant that La Tri faced World Cup elimination with a loss to The Blue Wave.

Curacao made sure the pressure continued once play began.

Throughout the first half, 78-year-old coach Dick Advocaat’s team kept finding seams through the middle of Ecuador’s defense, and that created open looks at the goal. But each time, Curacao would end the runs with a sloppy pass or a shot wide of net.

Ecuador wasted its best scoring chance in the opening minutes, when World Cup veteran Enner Valencia found nothing between him and the goalkeeper. But Room guessed right, dived to his left and deflected the shot to keep the game scoreless.

“For us it’s no shock,” Curacao midfielder Tahith Chong said. “We’ve gotten used to Eloy doing these unbelievable saves.”

The pressure of La Tri picked up in the second half — and each time, Room was standing in the way.

Moises Caicedo forced him into making a spectacular save early on, then Valencia did the same with a well-placed header that Room knocked wide. On the ensuing corner kick, Room made two more sensational saves before Curacao finally cleared it.

Ecuador wound up taking 27 shots to just 10 for Curacao. Ten of the 15 saves Room made were inside the box.

It was that kind of special night for him. And that kind of frustrating night for Ecuador.

“The team deserved more than they got,” Beccacece said, “and I am the one who is responsible for that.”

MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. — The National Weather Service announced on Saturday that there was an Air Quality Alert in effect until 10 a.m. on Sunday in Miami-Dade and Broward counties.

The alert mostly impacted “unusually sensitive people” who need to ”consider making outdoor activities light and short” and “go inside to cleaner air” if they have symptoms, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

NWS meteorologists warned that “near surface smoke” is likely to worsen into Saturday night, as “thunderstorm winds cause spreading into populated areas followed by poor dispersion.”

Two wildfires between Krome Avenue and the Florida Turnpike had burned more than 20,000 acres and were mostly contained by Saturday afternoon.

The Florida Forest Service reported the wildfire known as “The Quarry 2″ had burned 19,003 acres and was 100% contained, and a wildfire known as “Well” had burned 1,525 acres and was 70% contained.

Miami-Dade Fire Rescue personnel recommended limiting outdoor activity when possible, keeping windows and doors closed, and setting the air conditioner to recirculate. Miami-Dade was also under a heat advisory.

Where to watch San Francisco Giants vs Miami Marlins: TV channel, start time, streaming for June 20

The 2026 MLB season has surpassed the quarter mark, and after each team’s first 40 games, there’s plenty of reasons to tune in all summer long.

Chicago White Sox slugger Munetaka Murakami has already proven doubters wrong by launching 17 home runs, Pittsburgh’s Paul Skenes consistently looks like the best version of himself on the mound and Milwaukee ace Jacob Misiorowski is throwing harder than any starter in the majors.

The MLB action continues on Saturday as the San Francisco Giants visit the Miami Marlins.

Here’s everything you need to know to tune in for the first pitch.
