Miami Dolphins vs. New England Patriots NFL Picks Week 9: After a very slow start, quarterback Tom Brady and the New England Patriots appear to have regained their championship form. After back-to-back blowout victories and a Bye, the (5-2) New England Patriots [-10½] host the visiting sports betting odds underdog (3-4) Miami Dolphins [+10½] in a game between two teams that hate each other.
This AFC East Divisional showdown is scheduled to kickoff this Sunday afternoon shortly after 1 PM ET live from Gillette Stadium in Foxborough. You can catch all the hard-hitting action this NFL Picks Week 9 game will surely 
have, live on CBS Sports. According to NFL Picks Week 9 experts at SportsBook.com, the OVER/UNDER for this Miami Dolphins vs. New England Patriots contest has been set at a combined total of 46½ points scored.
For the visiting Dolphins, beating out the Patriots for the division last year has painted a bulls eye on their backs. After putting together one of the greatest comeback seasons, finishing 11-5, the Fins beat out the Pats by a matter of percentage points to clinch the AFC East title. One guy that’s certainly never at a loss for words, (LB) Joey Porter, expressed that last season’s success was no fluke, saying that Miami is still "champions until proven otherwise".
But even with all the encouraging talk, a loss on Sunday would put the Dolphins 3 games behind New England, who appears to keep getting better and better week in and week out. "We just need to get better overall against an eight-man front," quarterback Chad Henne stated. "I don't think overall we executed – the running game or the passing game."
For New England head coach Bill Belichick, the tricky Fins and their wildcat offense will not catch them off-guard this week. "They give you a lot of stuff to defend,” Belichick said. “I'm sure that we'll need a lot of different options to handle the variations that they show."
Miami comes in ranked third in the league in rush yards per game with 153 per contest. "They are a big, powerful team," Belichick said. "… That's what Bill believes in and I think he has a great philosophy. And it works for him. And it should work."
But the Dolphins aren’t the only ones plying well offensively, as Brady appears to have shaken off the rust from his season-long layout. "For the most part, guys are in the spots where they need to be," Brady said. "We have a pretty good understanding how we're going to attack people. I think everyone's excited for what's ahead."
