Jay Cutler will look to get his first career win against the New England Patriots when he leads his Miami Dolphins team into battle against Tom Brady and the Pats in their Week 14 matchup that gets under on Monday night. Now, let’s find out if the Fins can either pull off the immense upset or cover the huge NFL Week 14 spread as a double-digit home underdog.
While Jay Cutler completed 18 of 31 passes for 235 yards with two touchdowns in the win, he also made sure to toss in a pair of picks as well. This year, Cutler has thrown 15 touchdown passes and 11 interceptions.

Why Bet the on New England Patriots Odds at -11?
Why bet on the Patriots in this contest? Well, let’s see. There’s the fact that they have a Hall of Fame head coach and quarterback and are the better team in all three phases of the game. If that’s not enough, the Patriots are also on fire, having won nine consecutive games including their commanding 23-3 win over Buffalo last weekend while covering the chalk as a 7.5-point road favorite. Tom Brady passed for 238 yards but failed to throw a touchdown pass for the first time since Week 1 while tossing an interception against the Bills, but it didn’t matter as the Patriots got 78 rushing yards and two scores from running back Rex Burkhead in the win. New England’s defense also held Bills quarterback Tyrod Taylor without a TD pass while limiting him to just 65 passing yards. Sure, New England will be without star tight end Rob Gronkowski after he was suspended for one game by the league for his intentional late hit last week against Tre’Davious White, but it likely won’t matter in this contest against the awful Dolphins, even though head coach Bill Belichick told the media that Gronkowski was in the wrong on that play. “Some of the things that happened in that game, nobody wants to see,” Belichick said. “Hopefully, it won’t happen again.” Gronkowski has apologized for his actions, saying they came out of frustration at the referees, who he felt were not calling what should have been defensive holding calls on the Bills.Team Statistics

Why Bet on the Miami Dolphins Odds at +11?
Why bet on Miami in this contest? Well, because they’re playing at home and getting 11 points…I guess. While the Fins managed to snap their five-game losing streak last weekend by beating Denver 35-9, I think that’s mostly because the Broncos have clearly quit on this season and put up very little effort last weekend.
