As much as I want to believe that Belichick would throw the Miami game just so he can make some side money with his bookie... the Dolphins performance in week 1 was so sad that a 19 point spread may be too kind for the Dolphins' hopes (i.e., maybe it should be "MIA ne 34"?). But if HR were alive, he would take that bet ;p

The ephemeral class that is Gardner Minshew is real. And that jags defense got embarrassed. Watson may not finish the game.

TNF underdogs better stop winning. I'm willing to stick to the joke, but it would be super depressing if Fred won from TNF games... ;D

In hindsight (too late now?), Hot Rod could automatically be set to bet on the highest scoring game, since that's all he ever did :p

Looks like my Dolphins prediction was a little dyslexic — lost by 43, not 34 ;D
By now, an upset Dan Marino must be rising from his grave to get his team to the playoffs.

If you watched the game you would have seen that Dan Marino was one of the few Miami fans still sitting in the stands.

They should have put him in!

As good as Marino was, he never had that strong of a team around him. Miami has never had a dominant O line since their undefeated year.

It doesn't matter if you have Jesus Christ and the 12 Disciples in the back field. Without a line you are screwed.

That's basically what Shula had when the went undefeated. Zonka and Kick had holes that even I could have run through. Neither the QB or receivers were world class. All made possible by the most dominant O line I have ever seen, before or since.
They regularly had drives that lasted 7 or 8 minutes.
