The PLAY: New England Patriots +1.5 (-120)
I lost with the Patriots in Week 1. New England allowed Geno Smith to have a big game and lost 20-13. While it turned out to be a bad pick, the Pats did have some positives. That's more than the Dolphins can say; Miami was pounded 33-8 by the Colts. Indianapolis outgained Miami by a whopping 418 yards to 211 yards. The Colts basically doubled the Dolphins in yards on the ground and in yards through the air. Though it's never wise to over-react to one game, the Dolphins showed some disturbing signs. Both teams will be fighting to avoid starting 0-2. I like New England's chances of finishing on top.
