Miami Dolphins o/u 8.5 regular season wins

jillmark · 08-13-10, 07:42 PM

Fish are going to be one of the most improved teams in the nfl this year and I love over 8.5 wins. The have a decent QB, great running game, solid defense and some a great wide receiver to open up the offense. I see at least a 10-6 season.

The early trends have many people taking the OVER. They must know something I do not. The ESPN strength of schedule lists them as having the 16th most difficult schedule. After my analysis and adjustments, I have them as 27th. Playing the NYJ and NE twice each is going to be tough. Henne showed some flashes that he can be a quarterback in the NFL, but MIA is not about to turn into a passing juggernaut anytime soon. They have a stellar running game and that will continue to be their bread and butter. Some might say losing Porter and Taylor will not hurt that much, but who will replace them? Brandon Marshall will help take pressure off Henne and the running game immensely, but to pull out nine wins with that schedule is a daunting task. I'm not buying into the MIA hype. I'm going with the UNDER.

Thanks for the opinion. But having Miami ranked as one of the bottom 5 teams in the NFL seems totaly erroneous.

Sorry, should have been clearer about that. I meant they had the 27th easiest schedule. I certainly don't think they will be in the bottom 5 of the league.

too close but i say under

Over. Easiest money you will ever make.

They got good QBs and WRs, I'm not so sure about defense.

They should be similar like the Broncos last season. Hard to say, their division is difficult.

Over is the right call here.

Fins are 'starving' for wins this season!

Yeah, they've improved, but it doesn't change the fact that they're playing new England and new York j twice each. I say under, but it'll be close, and I'm assuming that sanchez has improved since last season.

I have them at seven wins this year

tomcast · 08-14-10, 07:32 AM

I expect them to edge over the 8.5 wins

looks like you take under thinking jets and pats are class but not so fast. if miami stays healthy they can win that division. i like over too. good luck.

miami dolphins looking good this year

Cappy · 08-15-10, 12:17 AM

Maybe with Tebow at QB because Henne is trash

midoriwilleatyou · 08-15-10, 12:46 AM

i say they go 9 and 7

Jshap1515 · 08-15-10, 02:39 AM

Henne isnt trash. I consider him like Kyle Orton or Jeff Garcia. Not flashy at all, but doesn't turn the ball over (something Mark Sanchez needs to work on badly). A respectable QB

Can't tell much from that first preseason game, the field was horrible.

furjiko · 08-15-10, 09:28 AM

Over

Miami it's in a new idea and with new energy we saw it last season and for this one phins are going back to playoffs i think they're going 9o. Go Dolphins!!
