\"Patriots<\/a>
New England Patriots QB Tom Brady is 17-6 SU in his career against the Miami Dolphins<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

New England has won its last three games, including a 27-26 victory over the Cleveland Browns as 9.5-point home favorites Sunday, while going OVER the betting total for a third consecutive affair.\u00a0 The Patriots can clinch their fifth straight AFC East title and quality for the playoffs for the 21st time in their 54-year history, which is important to consider when looking over the pro football odds page.\u00a0 The franchise has compiled a 47-6 SU record in December since 2011\u2014the best such mark in the league.\u00a0 New England is 0-2 SUATS as road favorites of three or fewer points this season.<\/p>\n

The Patriots have the highest winning percentage in division games from November until the end of the season since 2002, which can\u2019t be ignored when making your NFL betting picks in Week 15.\u00a0 New England has won nine of the last 10 overall meetings against Miami, but the team is just 15-33 all-time when playing in South Beach.\u00a0 Quarterback Tom Brady has compiled a 17-6 record in his previous 23 starts in this series\u2014throwing 40 touchdowns and 19 interceptions.<\/p>\n

Miami is also riding a two-game winning streak, which includes a 34-28 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers as three-point road underdogs last time out, while going OVER the betting total for the first time in four affairs.\u00a0 The Dolphins are tied with the Baltimore Ravens for the AFC\u2019s final playoff spot, as they try to reach the postseason for just the second time in the last 12 seasons.\u00a0 Miami is 5-3 SU and 6-2 ATS as an underdog the last two-plus seasons, with the UNDER going 4-3-1 in that situation.<\/p>\n

The Dolphins have a great opportunity of putting points on the scoreboard, as the Patriots rank 24th in the league in allowing 372.3 yards per game.\u00a0 Miami second-year quarterback Ryan Tannehill threw a career high-tying three touchdown passes last week, with two going to tight end Charles Clay, who now has 678 receiving yards on the season.<\/p>\n

Sports bettors will likely back the Dolphins due to the Patriots being 0-4 ATS in their last four road games.<\/p>\n
