Miami Dolphins

Start Miami's defense — experts like the matchup and Thursday night conditions — but the game looks like it could be close and high-scoring, so they'll likely score from turnovers and sacks more than from keeping points low. If you have a safer defense or your league gives big rewards for limiting points, use that instead, because I'm only about one-third confident on this pick.

Start Miami — New England looked shaky and Miami gets the home edge, so they should have the advantage. But Miami’s defense got torched last week and barely pressured the quarterback, so it’s a risky pick; check injuries and weather before locking it in.

Start the Miami defense — they can pressure quarterbacks who make mistakes and force turnovers. They're easy to add and not many teams will have them, so they could give you a nice edge, but check who they're playing, injuries, and the weather before locking them in.

Draft Miami’s defense in the late rounds or pick them up after the draft if you want a short-term play. They have easier early games and added linemen, so they might help the first few weeks, but don’t count on them all season because of injuries and team uncertainty.
