Like to see this draft class play a few preseason games before I make a prediction, but 11-5 sure sounds good to me!
I guess that's fair for April...but I never pick the Jets to beat us. Especially now that they haven't since september 08.
The Steelers, Bengals, Ravens and Titans are the meat of our schedule, and as usual we will have to travel to freezing weather in mid winter to have a temperature, turf and distance difference that no one else in the NFL has. This really burns me up! The converse argument yearly is that they must travel to us also, but since 50 degrees in the mid winter is hardly punishment I see no weather advantage there. Things tend to come to life in the sun and stand still in the cold so there is no such thing as a home field advantage for the Dolphins. With all that said - here is my prediction: We may do well but if we ever want to see the SB again, we'll start to protest being in a cold weather, turf division, 1/2 a world away.
As close as many of the games we lost last year were, I don't think 3-4 more wins this year is out of reach given the addition of Marshall and Dansby I am kind of expecting it myself. Honestly I think we were a lot closer last year than the Jets were and I think we've had a much better offseason so far than the Jets. The media and Jets are going full bore with the Jets to the Super Bowl hype it's going to be fun to watch them crumble next year especially with all the older players they are signing, they are just digging that hole even deeper.
