The Miami Dolphins will take on the New England Patriots in Week 12 action in what will be a very different looking game from their Week 5 meeting when it was a game between Tyler Huntley and Jacoby Brissett.

This Sunday's rematch will be a much more exciting meeting when Tua Tagovailoa takes the field to take on Drake Maye. One thing that may stay the same from previous meetings is the Dolphins covering. Miami has dominated the Patriots against the spread in the past handful of years.

Let's take a look at the odds for the game and then we'll take a look at the recent betting history between these two teams.

In the post-Tom Brady era, the Patriots covered the first game, beating the Dolphins 21-11 on September 13, but have since failed to cover in eight straight games including losing seven of them. The only time the Patriots managed to squeak by the Dolphins was a New Years Day game in 2023.

Tua Tagovailoa is a perfect 6-0 straight up and against the spread against the Patriots in his career. He was inactive in their Week 16 loss to them on New Years Day of 2023 but also wasn't active in their win against them earlier in 2024.

Now, he has a chance to improve to 7-0 against the Patriots on Sunday and if they can cover the touchdown spread, the Dolphins cover streak will improve to 9-0 against the former kings of the AFC East.
