    I just don't feel confident. I WANT us to win, but our track record versus NE is not so hot.

    Both teams have positions of uncertainty and insecurity, but the ones belonging to Miami are more central. Odds are clearly in favour of New England.

    I took MIAMI in my pool. I know that nobody in it will make that pick over NE. Gotta have faith!

    I picked the Dolphins in my pools like I've done every single game for the past 20 years.

    Yup. I know it's a homer pick, but hey, the reward is sweeter if it works out. Picked Miami in my pool too. Hell it's week 1, anything can happen.

    I took Miami because I feel the heat and humidity at a 1pm start time for a change is going to make a huge difference. You can condition all you want but if you aren't used to it, it will hit you like an open oven at 400 degrees.

    It's about time that Ross started putting games back at 1 early in the year. That is our weather advantage just like the cold and snow is to a northern team later in the year.

    I expect Revis to have a big impact on this game though.

    Ok...I'll be the one who says the obvious...I'm a homer...I voted Miami...even tho the odds are not good, even if Tanny plays well, the OL is 'fixed' and everything goes right, the pasties simply have a better team right now...but I'll still go Miami and gloat about it if we do beat them....

    Regardless, it will come down to the last few drives, that's the only fact I have faith in.

    Of course I want Miami to win, just like I have in every game they have played since 1967.

    If I were betting money on this game though...Tom Brady 148 wins and 43 losses, career W-L record. 'Nuff said.

    I am so without a doubt....SHOUT IT OUT....a Dolphins homer its not even funny.

    The fact Ive seen teams have amazing seasons...even when they appeared to suck to high heavens during the offseason...means I will always believe our team is gonna win.

    But...

    You know one thing about this team. I LIKE THEM. These are guys I really feel like I can root for. I love Branden Alberts attitude...dude believes in his heart nobody is gonna touch Ryan Tannehill. Jawauan James has that same kind of attitude as a rookie. Our defense finally...FINALLY has a personality...love what Delhas and Finnegan are bringing. How can you not root for Grimesy....and Im seriously lovin me some Miko...Id pay what ever to sit next to her at a Phins game...Brent sure got lucky with her. Jarvis Landry...when his career is done I think we might look back in awe like we do with Clayton and Duper. Big Play Clay....dude is a gamer.

    I think the personality of this team is different then we have had before and THATS the biggest reason I think we turn the corner this season.

    I really want this team to do well....more so then any other year..because I want to root for this team for many years to come.

    over there
    115F is enough to drain any opponent in Miami the 1st game of the season. Very happy to see it's N.E.
    Was getting tired of them coming here in mid Oct. and being on MNF when it's somewhat cooler and no sun.

    All I can envision is Delmas creeping up to the LOS, pulling out his mouth piece and blinding Brady with that gold grill of his.

    I feel we win this one.....

    Agree 110%. I think the events of last season led everyone to do some soul searching during the offseason and I think they came out of it stronger. There is a different aura this year, Philbin included.

    The camaraderie and togetherness appears to be really strong as well.

    We will be going up to Buffalo with one HELL of a chip on our shoulder.
