If you look at the rest of the lines. We would be fighting for the final playoff position with Cincy, but our 2 division rivals are only at an over/under of 9. Both of who finished with better records than us last year.
Sounds about right to me.
Personally I say, lets go make some money.GMJohnson, dolfan7171, finyank13 and 1 other person like this. -
The Phins are a good team who got better. They have a young QB poised to breakout, an offense with the potential to be in the top-10 in the league, and one of the best defensive coaches in the NFL at DC.
They also have a tough schedule, are undecided at both guard spots, have a starting RB who can't stay healthy, are glaringly young on defense, have no proven pass-rush, and look dangerously thin at FS... a very, very important position in a passing league.
So... '8' as an over/under looks about right to me. I'd take the over, but I wouldn't bet big money on it. I'd put my big money on Oakland winning more than 6 games.DolfanJake and Stitches like this. -
That isn't a low number really. I'd say there's just as much of a chance to win 10 games as there is to win 7 games. Just a few injuries could do that.

You mark my words, there is going to be a lot of surprises coming out of this bunch. Among them; are Ciny, Miami, Philly and probably Pittsburgh. I feel all should be ranked higher. The fact that New England is ranked higher (than Miami and NYJ) when they are a shell of a team is a joke in itself.
9.5 - New York Jets, New England, Green Bay, Minnesota
9 - Atlanta
8.5 - Miami, New York Giants, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, San Francisco, Tennessee
8 - Chicago, Cincinnati, Houston -
The Vegas odds-makers are obviously Japanese.

Odds are meant to be defied

I'll just let them play the games, and enjoy the Fins hurting a lot of bookies when we go 10-6 and deep into the playoffs. JMVHO

I already made my bet in Vegas for the Dolphins to go to the superbowl this year. The odd were 8/1. Not bad if you ask me, I dont think that is off at all

Vegas odds makers aren't interested in predicting the actual result. They're interested in finding where the betting money splits 50-50. .
So don't blame the odds makers, blame the perception that the general public have about the 'phins.dolfan7171, GMJohnson, Larry Little and 1 other person like this. -
I have no idea what that could possibly mean.
