The long and short of it is this: The team that wants it the most and is willing to fight for it the hardest and the smartest will probably win! Being an optimist, I expect relatively impartial refereeing.
The "old" champion fighter is down on his luck but is not willing to concede. The "young" fighter is up on his luck and looking for a chance to prove himself as the best, and through winning, silence all his critics.
This game may be the tipping point for both teams. The Patriots, who have long been recognized as being great, may find this is the point when they start their long decline to irrelevancy. The Dolphins, who were once "the greatest" until they went off the wagon, may find this is the point where they can actually start to climb from irrelevance, back to greatness.
I'm looking forward to a Dolphins Victory!
