NFL odds Week 1: How to bet Patriots-Dolphins, pick

That Miami Dolphins will look to make history against a player coached by Bill Belichick New England Patriots Squad when the AFC East Division rivals meet on Sunday.

The Dolphins have won the Patriots three straight times and won the 2021 two-game season series for the first time since 2000. Since taking over the Patriots in 2000, Belichick has never lost to Miami four straight games.

Here’s everything you need from a Patriots-Dolphins game betting perspective, from point spread, moneyline, total over/under and expert picks (odds via FOX Bet):

TIED TOGETHER: NFL week 1 lines, odds

New England Patriots @ Miami Dolphins (1 p.m. ET Sunday, CBS)

Point distribution: Dolphins -3.5 to win (Dolphins favor a win by more than 3.5 points, otherwise the Patriots cover)
money line: Dolphins – 182 favorites to win (bet $10 to win $15.49 total); Patriots +140 Win underdogs (bet $10 to win $24 total)
Total score over/under: Both teams scored 46 points together

This is the third straight season that the Patriots and Dolphins will meet in the season opener.

New England is 16-6 in Week 1 under Belichick.

The Patriots were 6-2 away in 2021, the best away record among AFC teams.

The total has hit under in over/under (O/U) in nine of New England’s last 13 road games.

The Dolphins have won seven of their last nine home games against New England.

The total has hit the under in the O/U in six of Miami’s last nine games against New England.

Miami is entering the season on a six-game home win streak after starting 3-0 at Hard Rock Stadium last season. The Dolphins last season became the first team in NFL history to have a seven-game winning streak and a seven-game slip in the same season.

Choose over the FOX Sports Betting Analyst Jason McIntyre:

One of the biggest movers in week 1? Money is pouring into the Dolphins to take them from -2.5 to -3.5 at home against Bill Belichick.

The move is in part a response to New England’s terrible preseason and bleak offensive outlook following the loss of offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels and a lack of skill position upgrades. That being said, Miami’s defense has been building up gaudy stats against a number of backup QBs over the past year. Go back and see how they buried third string Ian Book in New Orleans. But be careful about taking sides as Mike McDaniel makes his debut as head coach. And betting against Bill Belichick over the last 15 years has been a costly proposition.

The best look here is the total that goes above 46, but you have to know that you’re not getting the best number since it opened 44.5.
