SourceWillis brings a different dimension
Malik Willis started at quarterback for Miami against the Jets, accounting for three touchdowns in the team’s first win, including a rushing score, and converted a late fourth-and-1 to seal it; his mobility could test New England’s discipline.
SourceGordon has a chance to carry the ground game
Ollie Gordon started against the Jets and rushed 25 times for 103 yards.
SourceMiami’s backfield needs to adjust

SourcePick Ideas
Dolphins +8.5
Dolphins +8.5 is a lean because Miami’s ground game can control the clock.
Ollie Gordon rushing yards over
Consider Gordon’s rushing over if the posted number is below 100 yards; Miami’s willingness to make him the ground-game focal point supports the role.
Under 44.5 points
Under 44.5 is worth considering if Miami’s run-heavy approach shortens the game and New England avoids another turnover-driven shootout.
