After this past Thursday’s comeback performance against the pesky Buffalo Bills, the Dolphins have kept themselves alive in the AFC playoff race. The offense scored when they needed to score, and the defense stood strong when they needed to make a stop. Now the Dolphins can get some much needed rest, and hopefully get a little help as well with some other AFC playoff contenders losing this weekend.
For Starters the Dolphins now sit one victory behind the New England Patriots, and the Patriots have a very tough Sunday night matchup against the Indianapolis Colts, in Indy. The Patriots have been on fire winning their last 5 games in a row, however their Luck may run out in Indy. Andrew Luck has been off to an MVP type season, and leads the league in passing yards. The best sportsbooks in the world have the Colts as a -3 point favorite, and the action is actually extremely more weighted on the under dog Patriots. Usually when there is so much more money on the side of the underdog, then the favorite usually covers. I believe the Colts will help out the Dolphins and hand the Patriots their third loss of the season.
Another game where the Dolphins could use some help are in the Cincinnati Bengals against the New Orleans Saints game. The Bengals have been struggling after their 3-0 start, and will have to go into one of the tougher venues in all of football. The Saints are a different team at home, and after Sean Payton lost his first home game since 2010 last week against the 49ers, expect him to come out strong to avoid two straight losses at home. The best sportsbooks in the world have the Saints as a heavy -7 point favorite, so hopefully the best sportsbooks have the favorite as the right team, and the Saints beat the Bengals.
Another tough matchup for an AFC contender is the Kansas City Chiefs taking on the former Super Bowl Champion Seattle Seahawks. The Chiefs are home, and have been playing lights out defense so the Seahawks better not take this team lightly. The best sportsbooks in the world have the Chiefs as the -1 ½ point favorite, but all the action is decidedly more on the underdog Seahawks. This could be the same type of outcome as the Colts/Pats game, which means the Chiefs should be able to sneak out a much needed victory from the Seahawks.
The Oakland Raiders take on the San Diego Chargers, and if the Chargers can not beat the win less Raiders, then do not belong in the playoff race. The Chargers had an extra week to rest, and should be able to take care of the Raiders at home, and keep themselves alive in the playoff race.
Lastly the Pittsburgh Steelers take on the Tennessee Titans on Monday night. The Steelers are coming off a very disappointing loss against the lowly Jets and will be looking to get things back on track against a very bad Titans team. I would love to see the Titans win, but it seems too unfathomable to have the Steelers lose two games in a row against two of the worst teams in the entire league. How does the rest of the phins fans feel about the Dolphins getting some much needed help around the league this weekend?
C’mon man…asking for help? really? what ever happend to just winning?
Another example of how some media and some fans have gotten soft as a result of mediocrity over that last 15 years.
Forget help, all the good teams win their tough matchups. If the Fins cant win tough games in December on the road in winter conditions they dont deserve to go anywhere.
Since when is this about just making the playoffs bro? This is supposed to be about going to and winning the fucking super bowl bra.
Geezus.
And dont get me started on fucking Al Golden and his coaching in the second half “not to lose” approach. That asshole should be fired already.
Winning the Super Bowl does not happen overnight. This team realistically is not going to win the Super Bowl this season, however we are definitely pointed in the right direction and have a lot of pieces in place. We probably only need a hand full more players at some key positions to make this team a Super Bowl contender Bro.
Its not soft bro, its reality, the dolphins have not been good for years, and you don’t just snap out of it after 15 years a win the Super Bowl, it needs to be built the right way so it can last.
