I did it. You can’t scare me world! The Miami Dolphins are a real team. Just look at their schedule. They were a special teams blunder away from a coin-flip game vs New England. They hung with Buffalo for the entire game before Josh Allen took over. Add in a loss to the Seahawks and three dominant wins and you have a team that has been 4-2 against the spread this season. Now, this isn’t a gambling ranking system, but the point still stands that the Dolphins have continued to exceed expectations weekly.
I haven’t even mentioned the beginning of a new era under center. Miami has made the call to start Tua Tagovailoa in their next game. Tua will get two weeks of practice before his first start due to the Dolphins’ Week 7 bye.
After the Bye? The Dolphins have an very attainable 5-1/4-2 stretch. The Rams, Cardinals, Chargers, Broncos, Jets, and Bengals are on the docket for Miami. Ryan Fitzpatrick would have a good chance in those games. Give Miami a boost of energy at quarterback and you have a Dolphins team ready to go on a run. Tua will also get to face off with the QB’s that were taken before and after him, Joe Burrow and Justin Herbert.
The Dolphins went for the rebuild, and I think it’s fair to say that finally, the final touches are being made to make Miami a playoff team.
The Titans have embraced their identity. The way Derrick Henry and Ryan Tannehill have commanded this offense makes them a team nobody wants to face in January.
The Aaron Rodgers love fest came to a screeching halt with a downright butt-kicking by Tampa Bay. This wasn’t necessarily a Tom Brady master performance, which honestly scarier to see if you’re the rest of the NFC.
