The NFL milks out their year long calendar so much at this point that I almost respect it. Thursday was the league’s “Schedule Release Day” where they officially announced each team’s schedule for the 2022 18-week football season.
Of course, our friends and exclusive gambling partners at BetOnline.ag already have odds up for the leagues week one games. Here are the odds for the Patriots/Dolphins 1pm kickoff from Hard Rock Stadium:
Spread: Dolphins -3
Total: 45
This is now the third consecutive season that the Patriots will open up against the Dolphins. They are 1-1 in such games, winning in 2020 and losing in 2021. This will be the first time they wont play week one at Gillette Stadium since 2016.
Miami has completely overhauled their organization this offseason. They fired Brian Flores and hired Mike McDaniel, they traded for star wide receiver Tyreek Hill from the Chiefs, and contrary to popular belief – stood behind quarterback Tua Tagovailoa.
Tua is undefeated against the Patriots in his young career. Despite not putting up ungodly numbers like the other young signal callers in the league, the Alabama product wins games. We’ll have to wait and see if he can continue that streak on September 11th.
Here’s a look at their full schedule:
Week 1: at Miami Dolphins (Sunday, Sept. 11, 1 p.m. ET)
Week 2: at Pittsburgh Steelers (Sunday, Sept. 18, 1 p.m. ET)
Week 3: vs. Baltimore Ravens (Sunday, Sept. 25, 1 p.m. ET)
Week 4: at Green Bay Packers (Sunday, Oct. 2, 4:25 p.m. ET)

Week 6: at Cleveland Browns (Sunday, Oct. 16, 1 p.m. ET)
Week 7: vs. Chicago Bears (Monday, Oct. 24, 8:15 p.m. ET)
Week 8: at New York Jets (Sunday, Oct. 30, 1 p.m. ET)
Week 9: vs. Indianapolis Colts (Sunday, Nov. 6, 1 p.m. ET)
Week 10: Bye
Week 11: vs. New York Jets (Sunday, Nov. 20, 1 p.m. ET)
