Miami Dolphins games with best chance for victories
By Brian Miller
Now that the NFL schedule has been released we can see where the Miami Dolphins will be playing and how those teams could be Dolphins victories.
The Miami Dolphins are rebuilding and with a rebuild comes some pretty ugly games. Brian Flores is quick to point out that his team will never quit and that “tanking” is not something he likes to hear.
While that may be true, the Dolphins of 2019 are going to be a young team with some big holes on the roster. That leads to bad games as they learn the way Flores wants the team to become. There is always a chance that the team will surprise but there is also a reality to what we have seen this off-season so far.
Can the Dolphins pull off a miracle season or will they be lucky to win a football game? We will predict the results later but for now, here are the games with the best chance of winning.
October 13th – Washington Redskins
The Dolphins will host Washington for their 5th game and the Redskins could be their first victory of the season. The team has quarterback issues and lacks cohesiveness on both sides of the ball. They are a team that could challenge for the NFC East or simply disappoint their fans.
November 3rd – New York Jets
It’s hard to win in N.Y. but Miami tends to play the Jets pretty well at home. It will be the Adam Gase return game and you can bet he will have his team ready for that game but sweeping Miami isn’t easy and the Dolphins won’t meet the Jets until much later making this a game that is potentially more winnable given the mid-season date in South Florida.
November 17th – Buffalo Bills
This is really tough honestly. The Bills have made some good improvements on their roster but there still are questions that remain. The Dolphins could take the Bills in Miami but they are not expected to win in Buffalo.
December 22nd – Cincinnati Bengals
The Bengals are a team that is not rebuilding but transitioning. They have a new head coach in former Dolphins OC Zac Taylor and Taylor had a hard time filling his coaching staff. They are not expected to be a very dominant team in 2019 although they are not rebuilding.
