The Miami Dolphins have five games left in their 2018 season and the odds of them making the post-season are incredibly low.

After Sunday’s loss to the Colts the Miami Dolphins dropped to 5-6 on the season and are now heading for a showdown on Sunday with division rivals the Buffalo Bills. Buffalo is hoping to get into the playoff chase and a visit to the Dolphins will either help that along or eliminate their chances.

Much like Buffalo the Dolphins need to win on Sunday but they also need to win next Sunday, the Sunday after that, the Sunday after that, and the Sunday after that. In other words, the Dolphins have to win out or kiss their season good-bye.

Can they pull off an improbable comeback this late in the season with an IR list that is full of starters? Can they pull this off with a head coach who doesn’t display a killer instinct by having his players play at a level consistent with fighting for a win? It is not going to be easy.

Miami is riding the shoulder of Ryan Tannehill but there are questions as to whether or not he will in fact be the QB next season. The odds are that he will so my first prediction is that these final five games are not the last we will see of Tannehill.

Here are my predictions for the last five games of the 2018 Miami Dolphins season.
