I'm trying. I really am. But I just can't help but feel supremely confident about this game in Miami. I simply cannot think of a single remotely convincing reason why the Dolphins can win.

I mean sure, Brady has struggled at times against their defense. But that was back in the days when they actually had a respectable defense. And yeah, they'll probably be pretty motivated to win and all. But can mere motivation overcome the chasm of disparity in talent and coaching between these two teams?

The Patriots are currently at the top of the NFL elite, competing for perfection. The Dolphins are clearly in fire-sale, rebuilding mode. The Chambers trade is proof enough of that. So give me some reason, some matchup, just something to make me feel this game is anything other than a gimme.
