Patriots vs Dolphins: Who is Favored to Win?
Opening odds for the Patriots vs Dolphins Week 2 game have the Dolphins as 2.5-point favorites. This game is the Dolphins' 2025 season home opener. These odds will most likely change before kickoff, depending on how the Patriots do in Week 1 against the Raiders and how the Dolphins perform in their first game of the season against the Colts.
Here is how the odds and lines for both games line up, according to Massachusetts sports betting apps.
Patriots vs Dolphins Spread
The Patriots vs Dolphins point spread for Week 2 opens with Miami being 2.5-point favorites. The last time New England and Miami played was in Week 18 of the 2024-25 season. Miami QB Tua Tagovailoa had 315 passing yards and five touchdowns in the Dolphins' win. Due to the Dolphins' performance against the Pats last season and the fact that it is in Miami, the Dolphins are slight favorites. These odds could swing depending on how these two teams do in their Week 1 matchups.

Patriots-Dolphins Rivalry
The Patriots-Dolphins rivalry spans nearly 60 years, with the teams scheduled to play each other twice a season dating back to 1967. The two share 8 combined Super Bowl Championships, 16 Super Bowl appearances, 35 AFC East Divisional Championships, and are the only two NFL teams to have undefeated regular seasons.
The Dolphins lead the rivalry all-time at 64-55, having dominated the head-to-head matchup early on while the Brady-Belichick dynasty took the 2000s and 2010s. That has changed most recently following the departures of Brady and Belichick and the emergence of Head Coach Mike McDaniel and QB Tua Tagovailoa, who have led the Phins to an 8-2 lead in the 2020s.
Patriots vs Dolphins FAQ
Early odds have Miami as the favorite to win the Week 2 matchup. But since the season has not yet started and the Patriots have a new coaching staff, the game could go either way. Both teams enter the 2025 season with a strong defense, so we expect this game to be a defensive battle.
The Patriots vs Dolphins moneyline for Week 2 favors the Dolphins. Opening odds have New England at +120 and Miami at -142. Based on these odds, the Patriots have a 45.5% chance of beating the Dolphins in the Week 2 divisional matchup.
