NFL betting odds have been greatly influenced by the injury to New England quarterback Tom Brady. Normally the NFL football betting odds would have seen New England a hefty favorite over Miami at home but this matchup is different. The Patriots are not getting nearly the respect they have in previous seasons in NFL.
NFL odds still have the Patriots as the home favorite against the Dolphins but nowhere near what they were a year ago. Last season at home the Patriots were 22 point favorites on the NFL betting pointspread. This year with the Dolphins being improved and Brady being out, that NFL football betting number is drastically lower. New England has won 7 of the last 10 meetings between the two teams according to NFL stats. They are 6-4 against the NFL football betting pointspread in those games. At New England, the Patriots have won four of the last five meetings according to NFL stats. They are 3-2 against the NFL pointspread in those games. The under is 6-3-1 versus the NFL number in the last 10 meetings.
