The Patriots are rolling as they’ve won 3 games in a row.  The Dolphins also have been hot as they’ve won 4 of their last 5 games.

Look for the Patriots to come out throwing the ball against the Dolphins.  Tom Brady (2,868 yards passing) should have a good game if his O-Line keeps him clean.  Jason Taylor must get extra attention from the line and running backs to keep him away from Brady.  After Brady softens up the defense, look for the Patriots to start pounding the ball with Corey Dillon (575 yards rushing) as Laurence Maroney will miss this game because of injury.

With Ronnie Brown missing another game, look for the Dolphins to shift the focus of their offense back to the passing game.  Joey Harrington must be careful against the Patriots defense that already has 16 interceptions on the season (7 by Asante Samuel).  Harrington will spread the ball among Wes Welker, Marty Booker, Randy McMichael and Chris Chambers.

The Patriots won the first game 20-10 over the Dolphins and should win this game too.  Tom Brady will have success throwing the ball against the Dolphins and Joey Harrington will throw a couple of picks that will turn the balance of this game.

The Jaguars are only 1-4 on the road this season, but 5-1 at home.  The Dolphins are rolling with a current 4 game winning streak where they’ve out-scored their opponents 95-53!

The Jaguars will attempt to run the football against the Dolphins, but that will be easier said than done.  The Dolphins only allow 93.9 yards rushing per game and 3.4 yards per carry.  Fred Taylor (876 yards rushing), Maurice Drew (454 yards rushing) and David Garrard will test them anyway, as it’s strength vs. strength.  The Jags don’t really pass well due to a lack of speed in the receiving corps.

The Dolphins will look to run the ball with Sammy Morris against the stiff Jags run defense that only allows 93.6 yards rushing per game and 3.5 yards per carry.  Joey Harrington might be forced to throw more than he wants to, and he better be careful….because Rashean Mathis has been a thief so far with 6 INTs.

This game should be close because of the defenses, but I’m going with the Dolphins who have been on a roll as of late.

The Miami Dolphins have been on a roll since their bye week as they have won all three games by a combined score of 68-43.  The Lions have lost two games in a row.

Look for the Dolphins to run the ball alot in the early stages of this football game.  Ronnie Brown (712 yards rushing) should find alot of running room against a Lions defense that is allowing 125.5 yards rushing per game and 4.1 yards per carry.  The Dolphins won’t be able to resist letting Joey Harrington try to stick it to his old team.  The Lions allow 216.7 net yards passing and have allowed opposing QBs to run up a rating of 100.6 on the season.  Look for Harrington to spread the ball around to Chris Chambers, Randy McMichael, Wes Welker and Marty Booker.

The Lions could be without Kevin Jones, and if he doesn’t play look for the Lions to throw the ball almost every down because Arlen Harris is not much of a running threat.  The Dolphins have a very rugged run defense anyways (101.2 yards per game, 3.4 ypc) so the Lions wouldn’t have had much success on the ground anyhow.  Look for Jon Kitna (2,624 yards passing) to throw the ball short to Mike Furrey (49 rec, 583 yards) and long to Roy Williams (54 rec, 867 yards).  Kitna could have success as long as the O-Line keeps Jason Taylor (9 sacks) away from him.

This should be a good football game, but I have to side with the Dolphins here as Joey Harrington will get the last laugh on Detroit.

These are two teams going in different directions.  The Vikings have looked awful the last three weeks, losing all three games by a combined score of 63-27!  The Dolphins have turned up the defense the last two weeks and shut down the Chiefs & Bears in wins.

The Vikings will just run their offense and hope they have some success moving the ball against the tough Miami Dolphins defense.  Look for the Vikings to lean on the running game with Chester Taylor running to the left behind Bryant McKinnie and Steve Hutchinson.  The Dolphins can be run on as they’ve allowed 99.8 yards rushing per game, but you have to stick with it because they only allow 3.4 yards per carry.  Look for Brad Johnson to take a couple deep shots to Bethel Johnson and Billy McMullen who both played well last week.

The Dolphins will go with what has worked for them and try to run the ball with Ronnie Brown.  Brown has rushed for 246 yards the last two weeks…..both victories.  The Vikings defense has been tough so far allowing only 66.6 yards rushing per game and 2.9 yards per carry.  The Vikings do allow 225.0 net yards passing per game, so Joey Harrington could have some success throwing the football.

Look for this to be a close, low-scoring football game.  The winner will be the team that protects the football better.
