Pick Your Phins Upset Of The Year

    Every year we beat at least one team we shouldn't (even the Ravens in the year of Cam-Cam).

    What's your upset-of-the-year on the Dolphins schedule?

    I predict we beat the Pats in our first game against them (announcing we are contenders in this division) and we beat the Colts (Tanny's Revenge).

    What's your pick for this year's big upset and why?

    @ Steelers

    I think the Phins defense will control the Steelers offense for the better part of the game. On the other side of the field, I see a Dolphins offense using misdirection and matchups to spread the Steelers physical defense out. They should run around them, past them, and tire them out. Take advantage of their over-aggressiveness.

    I don't think beating the Colts would be an upset.

    I could see the shocker against Atlanta.

    I don't see the 3-0 part.

    I say we take the Pats at home and I think we beat the Bengals at home, I also think we march out of Indy with the W (I don't really consider that an upset though)

    not a upset either.

    I think we beat the Patsies at home. the ATL game will be a very interesting one too.

    Falcons. They're a weak road team with the most overrated QB in the League, Brent Grimes gets his old team back by shutting down Julio Jones. (Jake Long/Ireland apologists' Revenge!).

    I think it is possible. Colts and the Browns are two beatable teams. It is a little more hard on the road.

    Colts game. It'll be an upset cause right now they're considered better than us.

    I'd go with the New Orleans one. I think this defense can steal one there.

    Who dat?

    Dat nothing!

    I say 2-2 heading into week 5 (I hope better), and we beat the Ravens.


    Good thing we weren't playing the Texans or else I may have picked that, only to inevitably lose to them again. :pity:

    I think we can go 3-0.

    I think our defense will keep us in almost every game. It should interesting bc our defensive pieces are so much different from a year ago.

    Quick WRs gave us trouble, will it be big guys now? Can our LBs cover the seam, do they even need to? Are we going to add pressure with hopes our more agile CBs can jump the route. Are the 2 old guys in the middle still top shelf?

    Thanks for the clarification. I've heard that Vegas sets line to maximize the total number of bets with even money on both sides, that way they never lose. I've also heard that they will shade teams if they feel they can dupe the public, what are your thoughts?

    If they are giving the public a bad bet, they are inherently giving the other side a great bet.

    I think we take the steelers..having no Wallace while Rothlesberger scrambles was a big part of their success..they won a superbowl with that dude.
