There are only two games left in the Miami Dolphin regular season, and just when you thought you had seen all there was to this Dolphins team, they go out and race like a team for 250 meters against the hailed New England Patriots in week 15, who bully their way to 22 second-half points as a 22-12 victory over the Patriots. What will week 16 hold in store when the Las Vegas Raiders host the Dolphins in their brand new stadium? The Dolphins play for the placement of the playoffs, while the Raiders’ playoffs are hoping for life support and a loss on Saturday night would formally drop the Raiders from the potential playoff field.
With so much at stake, what madness could we see? Here are our five bold predictions for the dolphins in week 16?
The AFC Playoff field keeps the heat on Miami
The Dolphins could certainly use some help from some of their AFC contemporaries in their search for the way to the playoffs to materialize. The Browns keep winning. So do the Ravens. The Colts are another team that keeps the pressure up, although they do face the Pittsburgh Steelers this weekend. Don’t expect any surprise help this week for the Dolphins’ playoff expectations. If Miami wants a post-season berth, they’ll have to take it at this point. That includes a win in each of the next two weeks.
