Week 18: Patriots vs. Dolphins
Final game of the regular season
What a wild and unexpected ride this has been. The AFC is up for grabs. I think this team has a chance to snag it. Next season is going to be a lot tougher.
Thoughts from the board
Ricomandog
Pats choke vs Miami at the end of the season as always and lose their chance at #1 seed! Huzzah!!!
Dolphins win 27-21
Bold Prediction: Hunter Henry plays safety to prevent a Miami miracle part deux…and a similar result.
DNOM
Yeah, Stefon Diggs may be in serious legal trouble. But the Pats still have Drake Maye, and you know whom Drake Maye has, even without Diggs? That's right... EFTON "CHIZZMATIC" CHISM THE THIRD.
Patriots win 39-6
Bold Prediction: Marcus Jones gets his third punt return TD of the season... and his fourth
Mr. Roger Badell
Maye gets yanked at about the same time as last week, with the game in hand. Stinkphins do zero to move the ball. Ground game thrives with some Drake magic sprinkled in among the passes. Chism gets 2nd TD in as many games & Diggs gets his 30 yards for the 1/2 mil incentive...that his cook wants.
Patriots win 28-3
Bold Prediction: Broncos fall on their faces to undermanned Chargers team & Pats clinch the #1 seed & Drake seals the MVP AND Diggs seals comeback player of year.

A NE-MIA end of year game is NEVER predictable. Craziness rules. The Phins cannot be taken lightly as they have won 5 of their last 7 and would love to ruin the Pats final chance for the #1 seed. Their run game keeps it close, but Maye and Co. find a way to win it late.
Patriots win 27-23
Bold Prediction: 2 INTs for the Pats defense. 2 TDs for the Pats TEs..

Something about the Dolphins late in the season seems to bring out the worst in the Patriots. Ewers will play well enough to force Miami to take the $99M dead money hit for releasing Tua. Just as the Patriots are running out the clock, Stevenson will put the ball on the ground, the Fins will recover and kick the game-winning FG, and many TVs in the New England area will be broken.
Dolphins win 25-23
Bold Prediction: Maye tosses a TD pass to Munford.
Blight
Dolphins will put up a fight for a quarter, maybe two, and then start thinking about the offseason.
Patriots win 24-10
Bold Prediction: No one gets arrested.
Rking
Yes its Miami but the team is on a mission right now and Drake is playing great. I dont think this one is particularly close even though Miami has been playing better during the 2nd half of the season.
Patriots win 28-7
Bold Prediction: Drake has 4 more TDs
Zoo
It's the Dolphins. They're rarely an easy out, but this is a Dolphins team that is basically playing their JV team just like the Jets did last week. Patriots should roll at home and by the 4th Quarter Dobbs will finishing the game.
Patriots win 33-24
Bold Prediction: Drake gets 3 TDs in the air and 1 TD on the ground
Dino
No Achane means no run game for the Dolphins. No run game means no offense.
Patriots win 27-16
Bold Prediction: Yes, Chism gets another TD.
Lordy
Pats will dominate this entire game and rest starters again late. Miami is down a lot of their starters but will try valiantly at first to spare their HC and his job.
Patriots win 40-20
Bold Prediction: Maye goes over 400 passing with 4 TDs in the first half and at LEAST 1 rushing TD.
