’ final game set to be kicked off at 4:25 p.m. ET on Sunday. Even with the top seed in the AFC out of reach, the game against the Miami Dolphins (+6) could have some major implications on the team: everything from the second playoff seed in the AFC and the final wild card spot at No. 7 is still on the table.
Most importantly, though, the game against Miami presents an opportunity for the Patriots to show that last week’s beatdown of the Jacksonville Jaguars (+14.5)
was no fluke — and that they can carry some momentum into the playoffs.
