Betting Preview Brief
The Dolphins went 8-2 in games within a touchdown in 2016 and this type of performance cannot sustain without making the necessary improvements.
Miami must be able to limit turnovers if they want any chance of getting over the. 500 mark again in 2017.
With the Patriots seeing such a high -1200 price to win this division, Vegas and the offshore bookmakers see little hope for the other three teams in this division (including Miami) to be even remotely competitive.
Off Season Moves And Impact
From ESPN.com:
They didn't supplement their offensive line. Part of the opportunity cost in spending so much on guys who profile as third wideouts or two-down linebackers is that the Dolphins weren't able to commit resources to the interior of their offensive line. It made sense for Miami to ship out the disgruntled Branden Albert and move Laremy Tunsil to his natural position at left tackle, and the team is set on the right side with Ja'Wuan James, but the interior is ... spotty. Part of the problem is that Mike Pouncey hasn't been able to get healthy. Pouncey is a Pro Bowl-caliber center when on the field, but he hasn't made it through 16 games since 2012, and he missed 11 games with a hip ailment last season. He underwent a stem cell procedure for the hip this spring, but the Dolphins have little behind him. They will have to hope that Anthony Steen, who was forced into the lineup last season, can hold up at guard alongside converted tackle Jermon Bushrod, who simply wasn't very good but still found his way back on a one-year, $3 million deal. Offensive linemen were hard to come by this offseason, but the only notable additions Miami made were Bears castoff Ted Larsen and fifth-round pick Isaac Asiata. They also repeatedly outspent the market to bring back their own players.
