New England travels to Hard Rock Stadium to face Miami today at 1 p.m. on CBS. The Dolphins are favored by 8.5 (the O/U is 46.5).

The Patriots and Dolphins met in Week 2 with Miami prevailing 24-17 in Foxborough. The Dolphins scored the first 10 points, led 17-3 at the half and held on for the win. Note: the Patriots held Tyreek Hill to a season-low of 40 yards in that game.

Some are worried this might be a "trap" game coming off the loss against the Eagles last Sunday night, and with the Chiefs looming next week in Germany.

How far we've come. Can you imagine anyone ever thinking anyone would look ahead when facing Bill Belickick's Pats before this year?
