2008 NFL Football Betting - Miami Dolphins Season Win Total Odds

[Shame About Ray]

While the Miami Dolphins narrowly avoided becoming the first team in NFL betting history to go through an entire 16-game schedule without winning a single game, Miami’s misfortunes in 2007 could actually be a blessing in disguise in the long run for this franchise after owner Wayne Huizenga was forced to reevaluate the direction his team was going in under former GM Randy Mueller and former head coach Cam Cameron.

Now, months after hiring the venerable Bill Parcells to replace Mueller and run the everyday football operations – and watching Parcells hire right-hand man, Tony Sparano to coach the team - the Dolphins could be headed for good things sooner than anyone ever expected.

Good point - sometimes you have to hit bottom before you can start going in the right direction. And perhaps Miami is at least looking the right direction. The team will look very different in 2008, which after 1-15 is certainly good news. But until you have a proven QB it's tough to win in the NFL without a stud RB behind a dominant offensive line or a stellar defense - I see neither for the Dolphins this season. They will be better, but that only means winning 2 games. Fortunately for Miami I'm not entirely sure the Jets or Bills will be much better and they can't compete with the Pats. Still, 6 wins might be asking a bit much, 5 a bit more likely but not a good wager with an over/under wins at 5.5.
