Meanwhile, the odds of New England getting a sixth straight postseason berth could be critically wounded with a loss.

The last time these teams played, Miami surprised New England with their Wildcat offense. Running back Ronnie Brown received several direct snaps, rushing for 113 yards and four touchdowns and adding a passing touchdown to tight end Anthony Fasano in the 38-13 win. Since that upset win, the Fish have won six of their last eight games.

The Pats are coming off a 34-31 loss to the Jets, where Matt Cassel went 30-of-51 for 400 yards passing and three touchdowns without an interception, also adding 62 rushing yards.

New England is 8-29 in South Florida since 1970, including 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games. Get all your NFL picks in the Bodog Sportsbook now.
