The Wildcat returns for his 27th season in The Post. Including the 1997-2022 seasons in the Bettor’s Guide.

Cat’s record in print stands at 694-604-1 (53.4%) against the spread. 

Cat remains enamored of the Miami staff’s blend of coaching wisdom, the talent maintained by the Dolphins receivers and the redoubtable proven grace under pressure displayed by QB Tua Tagovailoa, who has hung tough while working under his fourth offensive coordinator.

Coach Mike McDaniel is making the most of his opportunities.

The Patriots are typically tough outs (both in good and not-so-good times), but it appears to us the Sea Mammals are on a mission and are primed to embrace another ripe opportunity. 

The Raiders opened with a one-point win in Denver and cross the country with a chance to spring a marked surprise on these still highly regarded Bills, who couldn’t quite get all the pieces to fit against the feisty Jets in their divisional opener at the Meadowlands.

A closer-than-you’d-guess result remains eminently in range. Raiders hang in there. 

Last week: 1-1. Dolphins (W). Steelers (L).
2023 season: 1-1.
