Lose the season opener.

Miami has won five of its last six season openers.  They have made the playoffs one of those six seasons.

Guess which one it was.

Ross buys tickets for the team to watch whoever the pats are playing. Lets be honest our O-line is still atrocious in fact it may have become worse. They are right D-fenses win games especially when you have Miami's O-line! Sadly Rosen and Preston may become a combo to win enough games for us to continue picking in the middle of draft. Of course that depends on if Rosen is as tough as Tanny was because he will be taking a beating every game.

Key to making the playoffs:

Defeat the San Francisco 49ers in Miami.

The Dolphins have made the playoffs twice since divisions were realigned in 2002.  Guess what happened both times?

Doesn't always work that way

Remember in 2008?

It has always worked for the Dolphins. 

Neither losing the home opener nor defeating the 49rs in Miami has been a key component of NE making the playoffs. 

The key for NE is winning the division going back 1999 any time they won the division they made the playoffs anytime they did not win the division they missed the playoffs.

Also Miami has split with the Patriots five of the past six years.

Guess which year they made the playoffs.

So your path to victory is conceding weeks 1,2 & 17.  Good luck with that.

Key to making the playoffs:

Michael Phelps wins at least 5 Olympic gold medals in the offseason.

Not looking good for the rest of our lives...

Wait until after week 2.  Dolphins need TWO things to make the playoffs per D4L lose opener and swept by NE.  You will get an even better payout if you wait til Fins are 0-2 than 0-1.

Go figure:

Since realignment Miami has started 3-0 three times and missed the playoffs all three times

The last two times Miami has made the playoffs, they started the season 0-2

Thanks D4L.  You just don't get this type of betting analysis on ESPN.

I am bookmarking this thread for the next time someone asks me what does the phrase, “correlation doesn’t mean causation” mean?
