If the Dolphins were to make a run through the playoffs and on to the Super Bowl, who do you think is the most likely matchup? The best odds are to face the Philadelphia Eagles, the reigning champions, at +15,000. The longest odds are to face either the New Orleans Saints or New York Giants, both at +250,000.
I think the most fun would be something like the +75,000 for a Dolphins versus Dallas Cowboys or the +25,000 for a Dolphins versus San Francisco 49ers championship game – giving Miami a chance to avenge their title-game losses to those teams in Super Bowl VI and XVII, respectively. However, playing the 49ers in their home stadium might not be the ideal setting for a championship attempt. Maybe an all-Florida +40,000 Dolphins vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers Super Bowl would be a fun one.
Who would you pick as Miami’s Super Bowl opponent?
Miami is not projected to make the postseason, according to the oddsmakers. There only seven teams with longer odds for a playoff appearance than Miami: the Carolina Panthers (+260), Las Vegas Raiders (+320), Tennessee Titans (+390), New York Jets (+520), New York Giants (+710), New Orleans Saints (+820), and Cleveland Browns (+920).
The Dolphins have too much talent to be in that group. The team had issues last year, but they should be able to put those behind them and compete this season. Are they a playoff team? Maybe, maybe not. But, I would give them better chances than teams like the New England Patriots (+154), Jacksonville Jaguars (+172), and Chicago Bears (+180).
Are you taking the +220 for Miami to make the playoffs, or will you pay for the -280 to miss the postseason?
