New England enters at 4-3 after winning the AFC East last season, with Drake Maye completing 65.9% of his passes for 1,784 yards and 13 touchdowns in seven starts.
Miami is 1-5 but comes off a 28-25 win over the Jets, led by Malik Willis' 1,057 passing yards and 223 rushing yards and Ollie Gordon's 339 rushing yards.
The model says it updates continuously from historical and recent team data, and SportsLine says it has hit more than 2,000 highly rated picks since the start of the 2023 season.
