SportSteem NFL Pick: Patriots Run Roughshod Over Lowly Dolphins

With Carson Wentz going down with a torn ACL, the Patriots easily become the odds on favorites to win the Super Bowl this year. A matchup against a 5-7 Dolphins team is like shooting fish in a barrel for the Patriots, as demonstrated by the beatdown the Pats laid on the Fins just a fortnight ago (thats right, i just dropped a 'fortnight' in there). Laying 9.5 here doesn't scare me in the slightest as I expect the Dolphins to have a let down game offensively after scoring a season-high 35 last week. Meanwhile, I see the Pats rolling along, continuing to be a top 4 team in both points scored and points allowed. I'm taking the Pats to cover the spread here.
