The Miami Dolphins’ 2021 season comes to an end on Sunday as they host the New England Patriots in a Week 18 contest. The Dolphins lost last week to the Tennessee Titans and, with several other results from around the league, they also fell from a Wildcard position at the start of the week to eliminated from the postseason by the end of it. Now, they are playing for pride.
Can they finish the season with a win over a division rival? Can they sweep the Patriots in the annual season series for the first time since 2000? Can they finish the season with a winning record, marking the first time they have had back-to-back seasons above .500 since 2002-2003? Can they prevent the Patriots from winning the AFC East for the 12th time in the last 13 years?
The line for the game, according to DraftKings Sportsbook, began with New England favored by 5.5 points. Over the course of the week, the line moved in the Patriots’ favor, with the spread increasing to 6.5 points before coming back down to its current 6-point margin.
