Week 3: at Las Vegas (Win, 2-1) 

The Dolphins and Raiders get a rematch from last year’s down to the wire matchup, which happens to be in Vegas again too. Last year, Ryan Fitzpatrick led the Dolphins to a miraculous comeback win.  The Dolphins won’t need a comeback like that this time around. I think Tua and the offense will be able to have a solid game against the Raiders defense. Dolphins seal the win late 4th quarter.

Week 4: vs Indianapolis (Win, 3-1) 

This is one game early on that I think is much tougher than most people think it is. The Colts have arguable the best offensive line in the league, and they may have the edge over the Dolphins defensive line. The Colts defense is also pretty good as well, and the addition of Carson Wentz should make the offense better. I think this is a closer game than expected, but I see the Dolphins taking this one for their first home win.

Week 5: at Tampa Bay (Loss, 3-2) 

This is arguably the hardest game of the season. It is never easy facing the defending the Super Bowl champions, especially when it is at their stadium and Tom Brady is on the team. This will be the first time that the Dolphins face Brady since he left New England in 2019. The Buccaneers have one of the best all around teams. I do not see the Dolphins coming away with a win, but it will be interesting to see how close they can keep it.

Week 6: at Jacksonville – in London (Win, 4-2) 

The Dolphins travel across to London once again. This time they face the Jaguars and 2021 1st overall pick, Trevor Lawrence. It will be a good test for the rookie as he gets to go up against the Dolphins secondary. It should be a good bounce back win for the Dolphins against a rebuilding Jaguars team.
