Miami Dolphins NFL Betting
It has been a strange couple of seasons in Miami Gardens, Florida. The Dolphins went 9-8 last year and 10-6 the season before. It was the first time Miami put together consecutive winning seasons since 2002-2003. So, of course, the Dolphins being the Dolphins, they fired Brian Flores. There was not a lot of specificity regarding the dismissal. Outside of Flores was said to have been difficult to get along with. There were also some vague allegations of Flores clashing with quarterback Tua Tagovailoa.
Mike McDaniel arrives from the San Francisco 49ers to take over as the new head coach. He was the offensive coordinator in San Francisco last year. That was his only season ever as an NFL coordinator. But at least he will play nice at the water cooler.
Tua Tagovailoa was the first round draft pick of the Dolphins in 2021. Tua’s arrival caused the most excitement in South Florida since the arrival of Dan Marino. Tua has been solid but hardly as dominant as his college days with Alabama. One problem that has plagued Tua throughout his career is injuries. He missed four games last year, which may have been the difference in Miami missing the 2021 NFL Playoffs.

The Miami Dolphins were a 1966 American Football League expansion franchise. Since their inception, they have shared the same AFC East Division with the New England Patriots, New York Jets, and Buffalo Bills.
Miami drafted exceptionally well from the day the franchise opened for business. Players such as quarterback Bob Griese and running backs Jim Kiick, Larry Csonka, and Mercury Morris formed a strong nucleus. Wide receiver Paul Warfield later came over and was a Hall of Famer. But the most important acquisition was head coach Don Shula. Shula arrived in 1970 and got the Dolphins into the playoffs that year. By 1971, the Dolphins were AFC Champions. In 1972, Miami turned in a 17-0 perfect championship season, the only one in NFL history.
From 1970 through 2001, the Dolphins were perennial playoff contenders. But since 2002, Miami has made the playoffs only twice.
Of course, Miami is known for former quarterback Dan Marino re-writing the record book in a sensational career.
Owner Stephen M Ross bought the team in 2008 and has been one of the least effective owners in the NFL. After head coach Brian Flores was fired last January, he accused Ross of offering to pay him to lose games. As of yet, Ross has not sued Flores for defamation of character. And heading into training camp, there was no news to the contrary.
