Miami Dolphins vs New England Patriots Prediction & Picks, November 1, 2026

The bet on Miami Dolphins scoring over 17.5 points looks solid at these odds. The Dolphins had a tough time against blitzes last year, facing extra rushers a lot more than average, but they found success running the ball. In fact, they were better on the ground than through the air. This could help them find ways to score against New England's defense, which allowed more points than they might like. New England's quarterback had his challenges too, but their passing game performed better overall. The close matchup means it could go either way, and the Dolphins' consistency at home gives them a chance to put up points. The most concrete risk is that both teams have had their struggles with pressure, which might lead to a lower-scoring game than expected.

Miami Dolphins vs New England Patriots: Chris Bell Over 17.5 Receiving Yards (-111)

Chris Bell has been a solid target for the Miami Dolphins, and he's got a good shot to rack up over 17.5 receiving yards in this game. The Dolphins have shown they get more success from their running game lately, but with Bell on the field, he could definitely find some openings against the Patriots' defense. Both teams have quarterbacks who faced a lot of extra pressure last season, but Bell's ability to get open quickly can help him shake defenders. The Dolphins are playing at home, which often gives them a boost, but it's worth noting that the Patriots are pretty close in terms of matchup stats. Still, we like Bell's chances to sneak past that yardage mark today.

Miami Dolphins vs New England Patriots: Drake Maye Under 236.5 Passing Yards (-112)

Drake Maye has been up and down this season, and facing the New England Patriots' defense won't make it any easier. The Patriots have been better at stopping big plays through the air, and Maye has struggled when extra rushers come at him. With New England's defense putting pressure on quarterbacks about as often as Miami's, it might be tough for him to rack up passing yards. The Dolphins have also leaned more on their running game, which can limit Maye's chances to throw. Since both teams have had mixed success on grass, it makes this matchup pretty tight. With all this in mind, betting on Maye to stay under 236.5 passing yards feels like a solid choice, but there's always a chance he could surprise us.

Miami Dolphins vs New England Patriots: Caleb Douglas Under 39.5 Receiving Yards (-114)

The bet on Caleb Douglas to go under 39.5 receiving yards is looking solid at -114 odds. Our numbers show that the Miami Dolphins have not been great on grass, and their quarterback has often faced extra pressure, making passing harder. Plus, the Dolphins' offense leaned more on running the ball last season, which could limit Douglas's chances to catch the ball. On the other side, the New England Patriots have also struggled to find success, especially with their quarterback facing a lot of extra rushers. That means both teams might have trouble moving the ball through the air. The biggest risk here is how close both teams are in their performance, but with the current trends, this bet makes sense for a cautious play.
