Home » Sports » NFL » Miami Dolphins vs New England Patriots: Match Prediction, Injury Report & Players to watch out for

The Miami Dolphins led by Tua Tagovailoa will face the New England Patriots in week 1 to kick off their new campaign.

The Miami Dolphins will face the New England Patriots on 11th September 2022 to kickstart their new NFL season. This will be a battle of two teams of the AFC East who have playoff aspirations.

Miami brought in Tyreek Hill to bolster their offense, and under a new head coach, they will be a team to watch throughout the season. On paper, the Dolphins have a better team than their Week 1 opponents, and a positive result will be expected from them.

On other hand, there are serious question marks about the New England Patriots. They haven’t improved much in the offseason, and with their former Offensive coordinator gone, this could be a long season for both the Patriots and their young quarterback, Mac Jones.

Player to watch out for in Miami Dolphins vs New England Patriots

  • Tyreek Hill – Dolphins:

Tyreek Hill will be making his debut for the Miami Dolphins in this game. He will be expected to have a huge game after his huge move away from the Chiefs. If Tua isn’t able to feed Hill well, questions will be raised on the Miami Dolphins quarterback.

Match Prediction & Telecast Details:

This will be a closely fought game between two great teams, but the offense of the Dolphins might just be too much for the Patriots to handle. As a result, the Tua-led Dolphins will be expected to get the job done and start the season with a win against their division rivals.
