Dave Hyde, Sports Columnist (Season record: 0-1): Dolphins 20, Patriots 17 They're not as bad as the Indianapolis opener, are they? The Patriots are another middle-of-the-road team the Dolphins should beat when you factor in the 1 p.m September heat. Both teams want to atone for an opening loss. But the Dolphins should be more desperate after last weeks performance.

After having one of the worst records in the league last season at 3-14, the Giants have the toughest schedule in 2025, making a step forward all the more difficult for Brian Daboll and Co. If the schedule was softer, maybe this is a team that flirts with .500, but an unforgiving slate likely eliminates any hope of that. Here, we go game by game in an attempt to decipher what Big Blue's record will be when the dust settles.
