Betting the Miami Dolphins: Preseason team proposition wagers

Make Playoffs +140

Miss Playoffs -169

Betting on the Miami Dolphins to qualify for the playoffs is as close as you’ll get to a 50/50 bet when it comes to overall team wagering.

The playoffs have been elusive for the Dolphins over the last 20 years. With just two postseason appearances over the last two decades, there are very few teams with as futile a run in that same time span. This makes bettors weary and skeptical of siding against history, and understandably so.

But Miami has an opportunity to change the tide this season, and are a fringe playoff team according to most outlet’s predictions. There would have to be a few things that break in the Dolphins’ direction, including remaining relatively healthy, but the notion is not far-fetched.

The issue, as always with playoff odds, is having to also predict how well the other teams in the conference will finish as well. If Miami is unable to win their division, then they will be fighting for postseason position with the likes of the Colts, Ravens, Broncos, Steelers, Chargers, and Patriots, just to name a few. It will certainly be a dog fight all the way up until Week 18, but this is one of the wagers that could easily go either way. Proceed with caution.
