A roundup of how folks at ESPN are picking Sunday's game between the Patriots and Dolphins at Gillette Stadium.
More...
- ESPNBoston.com's Mike Reiss: Patriots 20, Dolphins 17. After two blowouts, the Patriots should find themselves in a much closer game this time.
- ESPNBoston.com's Chris Forsberg: Patriots 27, Dolphins 17. Coach Bill Belichick and the Patriots are running roughshod over the quarterbacks of the 2008 draft. First Atlanta's Matt Ryan (3rd overall), then Baltimore's Joe Flacco (18th overall), then Tampa Bay's Josh Johnson (160th overall) and now Miami's Chad Henne (57th overall).
- Bill Simmons: Picks the Dolphins to cover (getting 10 points). "When's the last time the Pats played a real team? A month ago? Expect a little rust from my boys. Also, this has all the makings of a classic Belichick 'we have some big games coming up, I don't want to give too much away in this one, let's grind out an ugly home win' game. I hate those. Not good for my nervous system."
- Hank Goldberg: He thinks the Dolphins will have problems with their pass defense and predicts the Patriots will run up the score.
- Sunday Countdown: Mike Ditka, Keyshawn Johnson, Cris Carter and Tom Jackson all pick the Patriots.
- Patriots-Dolphins Madden simulation: Patriots 31, Dolphins 28.
- ESPN experts: All 10 of those polled picked the Patriots.
