The New England Patriots look to bounce back after the loss against the NY Jets last week, when they take on the AFC East rivals Miami Dolphins, in week 8 of the NFL season, this Sunday at 1 PM ET at Gillette Stadium.

The Pats looked awful on offense once against last week at New York, and Tom Brady didn’t throw a touchdown for the second game in three weeks.

“You’ve got to be able to spread it around, there’s no question about that,” Brady said. “It just happens to be if a guy is a particular read on a play and he is open, you let it rip, whoever it is.

“Gronk, when he is on the field, he is obviously a part of the reads. Whether he is the first read, the second read or the third read.”

The Dolphins are on a three game losing streak after they opened the season 3-0, most recently against the Bills.

“We’re in a tough spot right now,” said quarterback Ryan Tannehill. “We have to face the adversity and grow from it. There are two ways we can go. We can tank it, or we can turn it around.”

New England is 6-1 SU in its last 7 games when playing at home against Miami, but 2-4 ATS in its last 6 games when playing at home against the Dolphins.

The NFL odds have the Pats as 6 points favorites, and the game total is set at 45 points.
