NFL Week 2, 2019: 20 Bold predictions to consider

19. Patriots starters get to rest during fourth quarter
If the New England Patriots were able to take down the Pittsburgh Steelers the way they did in Week 1, one can only imagine how ugly things are going to get for the Miami Dolphins.
Whether the Dolphins want to admit it or not, Sunday’s embarrassing loss to the Baltimore Ravens seemed to make it clear that Miami will be lucky to win one or two games throughout the 2019 season.
Rightfully so, Miami will be huge underdogs entering Sunday’s contest against their rivals, as this meeting with New England has a chance to be well over before the fourth quarter even gets underway.
The Patriots already looked pretty dominant during their 33-3 win over the Steelers in Week 1, and that was without Antonio Brown part of the picture, as the speedy wideout is expected to make his debut against the Dolphins.
Even without Brown, New England was expected to be able to win this game against Miami with ease.
Now that Tom Brady gets one of the league’s most dangerous weapons to work with on top of the rest of New England’s supporting cast, Miami is going to be in serious trouble this weekend when trying to keep up with their beloved rivals.
