Cool Jack's big play this weekend and you might not believe it

Well I am enjoying the Dolphins ride and to be honest nothing would make me happier to see the Dolphins sweep the Pats this year and win this weekend but I just can't see it.

The Dolphins have won 4 games in a row and while they have done what it takes to win, they have made some mistakes and I am not sure they would have won some of these games have they faced a good team with a great coaching staff like the Pats.

The Wildcat formation was brought out against New England when Miami blew out the Patriots in New England, 38-13. Ronnie Brown scored like 5 touchdowns in this game and embarrassed the Patriots.

Miami was 0-2 at the time, New England had just lost Tom Brady and Matt Cassel was making one of his first starts. The Dolphins ended the Pats 21 game regular season streak, they rushed for more than 200 yards and scored more points against the Pats in more than 3 years.

Cassel is playing much better now while getting a better grip of the offense and you can bet Belichick will have his defense ready to stop the wildcat or probably anything else Miami throws at them.

Sparano has done an awesome job and the players are starting to believe but they still don't have the talent that New England brings to the table and I have to believe this game is pretty big to the Patriots.

If you have watched the Dolphins the last two games they probably should have lost both times to the Seahawks and the Raiders. They had the advantage of the East Coast/West Coast and barely escaped with wins.

One thing the Patriots have not done is lose two games in a row all year long because they are the best at making adjustments.

Of course the Dolphins are thinking playoffs but reality is they already have had a successful year no matter what happens. They have a few big holes that I am sure Parcells will fix in the offseason and I would be shocked if the Pats did not expose some of these areas of concern this week.

The Greek opened Miami at -3 and I will assume the line will drop so I have played some at +3 already and will hit the money line during the week.

Of course nothing is a lock but I really like New England this week.

Good luck everyone!

Maybe you thought I said Steelers ML this week? And by the way, a tie vs. the Bengals, I think that's worse than losing. lol

Is there anything worse than a tie?

No Jack! NO!

Can't disagree with your analysis. Still think the Pats have plenty of holes to expose as well.

Pats are a great play this week, Jack. Good call. Miami will lose this one and bounce back to win at least 3 more games this year. Not a bad year considering the 1 win they had last year.
