These are the games the Fins MUST win this year. Rookie QB, rookie head coach, on the road, and mid October weather in Miami (for those that don't know, trust me, that's summer weather). Recipe for a win, folks, and one that they need to get here with the Pats and Bengals looming. Fins have the better QB, the better offense, and the better defense. They get the "W" here.
Final: Bills 13 Dolphins 28
Record after week 7: 4-2
All-time record against: 50-45
The Patriots have had their issues, on, and off the field. Aaron Hernandez is gone, Wes Welker is a Denver Bronco, and Rob Gronkowski has had more surgeries than Troy Aikman has had concussions. HOWEVER, there is still one major problem here- Tom Brady isn't hurt, or in jail, or on another team. No, he's still behind center, and at home. Yikes. I think the Fins keep it close, but I don't go against Brady and Belichick in their own house, I just don't do it.
Final: Dolphins 20 Patriots 31

Halloween night football? Yes please. Thursday night game here, as the Bengals and Fins do battle from Miami. This one is a tough one to predict. Cincinnati is the sexy pick this season to make a SB run, and with a different Baltimore team and a Pittsburgh group coming off a down year, a run wouldn't surprise me. However, the Fins took down the Bengals a year ago in Cincinnati, and weren't NEARLY as talented. So, does lightning strike twice? That's a good question. In a close one, I'm giving the edge to the Bengals this time around, but don't be surprised if the Fins pull one off here.
Final: Bengals 24 Dolphins 21
