Dolphins vs. Patriots odds, picks, line, how to watch, live stream: Model reveals 2022 Week 1 NFL predictions
Two AFC East teams trying to keep up with the Buffalo Bills will open their season in Week 1 when the Miami Dolphins take on the New England Patriots on Sunday. New England has a postseason performance with rookie quarterback Mac Jones leading offense while Miami went 9-8 and head coach Brian Flores fired. Mike McDaniel has taken over after serving as Kyle Shanahan’s right-hand man in San Francisco, and the hope is he can help develop third-year quarterback Tua Tagovailoa into a franchise player. It’s a big duel to kick off the season and you can stream the game on Paramount+ in select markets.

Week 1 NFL picks for Patriots vs. Dolphins
Before you tune into Sunday’s Dolphins vs. Patriots game, you need to look at SportsLine’s advanced computer model NFL picks. The model, which simulates every NFL game 10,000 times, has won over $7,500 for $100 players with top-tier NFL picks since its inception. The model kicks off the 2022 NFL season with an incredible 138-97 run of top-flight NFL picks, stretching back to the 2017 season. Amazingly, it hasn’t missed out on a top-flight pick since week 15 of last season.
The model has also ranked in the top 10 on NFLPickWatch for four of the last six years in direct NFL picks, beating more than 94% of CBS Sports football pick ’em players four times in that span. Whoever followed it is way up.
In Dolphins vs. Patriots, the model assists Miami as a 3.5-point favorite. These two teams battled for second place in the division and a spot in the playoffs, with New England ultimately winning, but the Dolphins made massive moves to improve around Tagovailoa.
They traded for six-time Pro Bowl wide receiver Tyreek Hill and he will team up with sophomore slotman Jaylen Waddle to give Tagovailoa one of the most dynamic receiving tandems in the league. They’ve also upped Tagovailoa’s protection and hope a defense that ranked in the top half of the league in points allowed and yards allowed last year can still be strong when most of their plays are back.
Meanwhile, the Patriots have a young quarterback and will be processing the loss of Josh McDaniels after he takes over as head coach for the Raiders. The model predicts a tough sled for Mac Jones, as he throws under 200 yards and averages more interceptions than touchdowns to help the Dolphins cover.
