Gasper: 3 keys vs. Dolphins

Written Summary
Gasper says to keep an eye on:

• Turnovers: The Dolphins have the fewest turnovers in the NFL this season with just eight giveaways and are +7 in takeaway/giveaway overall. The Patriots have won 52 consecutive games when they finish in the plus margin in the takeaway/giveaway category.
  
• Chad Pennington: Pennington completed 17 of 20 passes for 226 yards and kept the Patriots honest, particularly with passes over the middle.
  
• Special teams: The Dolphins have given up two punt returns for touchdowns this season, including one last week against Oakland. Their kick coverage squads are susceptible and could this be the week Ellis Hobbs returns a kick for a touchdown?

Reiss: Key matchup vs. Dolphins

Written Summary

• Reiss debated two key areas, including Joey Porter (13 1/2 sacks) vs. Patriots tackles Matt Light and Nick Kaczur, but believes the key matchup will be the Patriots' run defense vs. the Dolphins' running game, specifically in the Wildcat package. The Dolphins have run 59 plays in the Wildcat for 420 yards (7.1 points per game) and eight touchdowns (6 rushing, 2 receiving).
