Patriots: 3 bold predictions for Week 1 battle with Dolphins

1. Cam Newton Totals 4 Touchdowns

Patriots QB Cam Newton is poised to enjoy a big day against Miami.

Some fans in New England have reservations about Cam Newton heading into 2020, and understandably so, as foot and shoulder injuries, both of which he had surgery for this offseason,  limited him to just two games last year before he was released by Carolina.

However, the last time he was fully healthy (2018), the three-time Pro Bowler was posting exceptional numbers. In 14 starts, he completed a career-high 67.9% of his passes for 3,395 yards and 24 touchdowns compared to 13 interceptions. He also logged 488 yards and four scores with his legs.

With Newton seemingly in the best shape of his life, we expect him to return to that form this campaign. He’ll have a tremendous opportunity to get off on the right foot in Week 1 against a Dolphins defense that, despite being bolstered by GM Chris Grier this offseason, still has a ton of imperfections.

You heard it here first, folks: The former MVP will carve up Miami for 250 passing yards and four touchdowns (three passing and one running) en route to a Patriots win.
