Miami Dolphins Odds to Win Super Bowl LIV

This is rock bottom. The Miami Dolphins suffered their worst loss in franchise history in Week 1, and everyone is jumping ship. Fans’ worst fears have been confirmed as its obvious this team is tanking, and multiple reports indicate that the locker room is fractured. Players are asking their agents to be traded away from a team that has no hope of winning in 2019, so it’s going to be a long four months for Miami. This appears to be the worst team in the league, and oddsmakers can’t set NFL betting odds high enough.

Miami Dolphins Week 2 Preview

We’re going to see stupid numbers for Miami the remainder of the year after an abysmal performance in Week 1. The gambling world was curious to see where the oddsmakers would set the number for their Week 2 meeting against the New England Patriots, and they underestimated just how much bettors wanted to fade the Dolphins.

Miami opened as a 14-point underdog per the NFL betting odds, but that number quickly moved. Online sportsbooks saw nothing but action on New England, so the game was taken off the board and re-opened later with a spread of 17 flat. The action was more balanced at this laughable number for a home team, yet it wasn’t enough and by Tuesday morning the football betting line had moved to 18.

Dolphins’ fans are looking for any kind of good news ahead of their showdown with the Patriots, but the only good news to be had is recent history. Miami has fared better than most teams against New England during the Brady and Belichick era, posting a 10-7 record against the Pats in south Florida. That might make the moneyline very appealing to some that prefer betting on trends, but it’s a dubious proposition at best considering the talent gap between these two teams.

Devante Parker is the best weapon remaining on Miami’s roster, so Ryan Fitzpatrick is likely going to focus on him in the passing game. Parker made an amazing catch in double coverage to record the Dolphins’ longest play from scrimmage in Week 1, and it was the only real bright spot of the afternoon for Miami. Unfortunately, the Patriots have an excellent secondary, so Parker won’t have many opportunities to make a play.

The Dolphins’ secondary should perform better than they did against Baltimore too. There is plenty of talent in this unit, and players like Minkah Fitzpatrick, Reshad Jones, and Xavien Howard are much better than what we saw on Sunday. It might not matter though considering how good New England’s wide receiver corps is with the addition of Antonio Brown.

Miami Dolphins Week 1 Recap

Miami’s historic Week 1 loss is going to resonate with this team the rest of the season. The Dolphins were never competitive, allowing 42 points by halftime before the Ravens pumped the brakes. They allowed Lamar Jackson to have a career day through the air, with Jackson completing 17 of 20 passes for 324 yards and five touchdowns on the afternoon.

This defense allowed Baltimore’s running backs to run wild too. The Ravens averaged 5.8 yards per carry, and Baltimore ended up compiling over 600 total yards of offense by the time the game was over.

Parker was the aforementioned lone bright spot, but the game was largely an abject disaster. Ryan Fitzpatrick completed less than 50 percent of his passes and couldn’t even rack up garbage time yards in the 49-point defeat, and the ground game was abysmal. Kenyan Drake led the way with 12 yards on four carries, while starting running back Kalen Ballage ended the day with negative yardage.

It’s going to be a rough season for head coach Brian Flores. This is his first NFL head coaching gig, and he might end up as the fall guy for one of the worst teams in league history by the team the year is over. Miami was built to fail, and Flores is not used to losing after spending 15 years as an assistant with New England.

Past Miami Dolphins Seasons

An expansion team in the American Football League for the 1966 season, the Dolphins never enjoyed a winning season or a playoff appearance in their four-year AFL existence. With their move to the NFL in 1970 as part of the merger, the team hired Don Shula and the rest, as they say, is history. The Fins went 10-4 in their first NFL season and made the club’s first playoff appearance. They would win 10 games the next season and play in the first of three straight Super Bowls. The Dolphins lost Super Bowl VI to Dallas, but it paved the way for history the following the season.

Starting quarterback Bob Griese was knocked out with a broken leg in Week 5 of the 1972 season and the Fins turned to Earl Morrall, who led the team to nine straight victories to cap a 14-0 regular season. Morrall directed a pair of playoff wins before Griese returned for Super Bowl VII where the Dolphins finished off the only perfect season in NFL history with a 14-7 victory over the Washington Redskins.

Miami made it three consecutive Super Bowl appearances and two straight wins the next season. The Dolphins reached the Super Bowl twice more after that, losing the big game following the 1982 and 1984 seasons. Shula retired after the 1995 season, ending his 33-year career as the NFL’s leader in wins with 257 of his 328 victories coming as the Dolphins coach. The team has cycled through 11 coaches since and they’ve been to the postseason just twice since 2002 without a playoff victory since defeating the Colts in the Wild Card round following the 2000 campaign.
