NFL Sunday 9/13/20 Picks

- Over (41.5)
Miami decided not to Tank for Tua and still got him. Ryan Fitzpatrick will be starting this one though.
The Patriots have had 5 defensive starters opt out due to COVID-19 while replacing GOAT Brady with Cam Newton. Brian Flores is a Bill Belichick disciple so expect the Dolphins to be prepared, but the record of the students against the sensei has been less than stellar. It’s Week 1 so there will be sloppiness, but I expect the Pats to unleash Cam and win close.
