The Miami Dolphins may have come up just short with their most recent performance this season, falling to the Kansas City Chiefs 33-27 at Hard Rock Stadium last Sunday, but the team is still carrying plenty of optimism into the final three weeks of the season. And with the Dolphins perched at 8-5 for the year, there should be. Miami has a great chance to secure a playoff berth in the coming weeks and the team’s youth movement has come together impressively this season. Despite their general lack of experience, Brian Flores has this Dolphins team playing inspired football and that can hopefully continue as the Dolphins look to exact revenge against the Patriots today.
How is Week 15 going to shake out for the Dolphins? Here are five bold predictions for the Dolphins this afternoon:
At least one Wild Card contender is upset
The Dolphins enter today racing against the Baltimore Ravens, Cleveland Browns and Indianapolis Colts to fill three playoff spots. We’re betting someone goes down today — but it won’t be the Dolphins. Baltimore squares off against Jacksonville, Cleveland faces the New York Giants and the Colts must tackle the Texans. Playoff races don’t stay “chalk” each week — any given Sunday can provide an upset of the expectations. Look for the Wild Card race to get turned upside down today with an upset elsewhere across the league.
