NFL Picks Week 17 Miami Dolphins vs New England Patriots Tom Brady Patriots Quarterback NFL Picks Week 17 - Bet Dolphins vs Patriots - Sunday, January 2nd, 1:00pm EST CBS The NFL picks week 17 on the 2010 Pro football season are out on the Miami Dolphins vs New England Patriots Sunday afternoon football match-up. This Sunday the Miami Dolphins head to Gillette Stadium as a 3 point underdog to battle their AFC East rival New England Patriots. The Miami Dolphins offense vs the New England Patriots defense is pretty even. The Dolphins are 21st in yards but 30th in points, while the Patriots are 27th in yards allowed but 13th in points allowed. Most teams throw the ball on this defense because they are mostly down in games against the Patriots, but this defense is the best defense in creating turnovers, including being the best in getting interceptions. This doesn't go well for a team that gives up many interceptions. They need to run the ball effectively, but they themselves are not good in the running game, 20th in rushing. The NFL picks week 17 advantage goes to the Patriots. Check out BOVADA and start winning NOW!

The head coach of the Miami Dolphins is Tony Sparano. He is from the coaching tree of Bill Parcells and he has his coaching style. They also have a good defensive coordinator in Mike Nolan who has this defense playing good. The Patriots have probably one of the greatest coaching minds in history, Bill Belichick. He always finds the weakness in each team and attacks it. He is the best at making adjustments during games. He also has one of the best quarterbacks in the league, Tom Brady. Advantage goes to the Patriots. My NFL picks week 17 on the Miami Dolphins vs the New England Patriots Sunday afternoon football game is out. This game might be a weird game because the Patriots might be sitting out some starters, especially anyone who has some kind of injury. The Patriots don't have anything to play for because they already have the number 1 seed in the playoffs. What I could see happening is that the Patriots will come out with a big lead in the 1st half, and then sit out all the starters in the 2nd half. It will be interesting to see if the Dolphins can come back against the 2nd string of the Patriots. But I believe that won't happen. The Patriots win 35-24. --- by Eric Price at 1800-sports.com on December 29, 2010
