From 1980-1999, Miami played in New England after mid November just 4 times, with only two of those games coming in December/January. Since that time things have been quite the opposite. It would be nice if the NFL would at least schedule the Patriots to play a 1:00 (though if I recall correctly, the organization chooses if they play 1:00 or 4:00 home games for the most part) in Miami during either the first or second week of the season. I have no idea what criteria the NFL uses when determining at what point of the season divisional rivals should play, but it would be nice to to see the Dolphins finish at home.
