The New England Patriots have had one of the most dominant starts in NFL history, plowing through opponents by an average of 23 points. And because of that they visit Miami as -17 favorites, the second-highest spread for a road favorite in NFL history.

But don't think for a second Patriots coach Bill Belichick will take the Dolphins lightly.

"The last time we went down there, we got shut out," Belichick said. "So I hope we can do better than that this time. It will be a big challenge for us."

The Dolphins are attempting to turn around their worst start in NFL history (0-6). However, they'll be without their top wide receiver Chris Chambers. He's been traded to the Chargers for a second-round pick.

"You prepare every week to win," coach Cam Cameron said. "When you get to the point where you don't think you can go into a game and win, you better go do something else."

The Patriots face the Dolphins as -17 favorites at 1:00 p.m. ET. Get your NFL odds in the Bodog Sportsbook!
