The Dolphins are receiving the Patriots on Sunday for Week 12 and with both teams tied at 6-4, this is promising to be a defining game, and with a Jets loss to the undefeated Titans, Miami will almost secure a playoff spot at 7-4.
New York is leading the AFC East with a 7-3 record, following them are the Dolphins whom beat the Raiders last week; in the third spot are the Patriots whom were beating the Jets in overtime last week on one of the most impressive and attractive games of the whole season so far, and at the bottom, we find the Bills whom are still wondering why they moved from winning 4 straight to start a loosing streak that currently has them with a 5-5 record.
We still cannot say what is going to happen here, but there is something for sure: Buffalo will have a difficult time trying to win a wild card spot at least. There is something on their favor though; they will have poor rivals coming for their next games, as they will play the Chiefs on Week 12, and then the 49ers on Week 13.
The Jets are confident that Brett Favre will bring back the glorious years of the Joe Namath era, but hopefully accompanied of their first championship. And to come up with a victory against Tennessee is probably the hardest task for the team since Favre came to the team. Difficult? Yes, impossible, no.
Without Brady, the Patriots hasn’t suffered much after all, but this is the time for Matt Cassel to prove that he truly is a caliber quarterback, and the game against the Dolphins and Chad Pennington is more than a test, is a mission.
Pennington’s team is below his former one, the Jets, and Pennington is also a skilled quarterback who hadn’t had the chance to prove what he’s worth until now.
Overall, this division is the most interesting one currently at the NFL and Patriots at Dolphins is a game not to be missed.
