Dolphins early season odds 2012

[finfan54]

I think 10-6 too but keep this in mind.

1) It does not ensure a playoff spot if other teams are 10-6 too
2) The AFC East all has an easier schedule too. So we need to go 4-2 in division.

I googled around & found our current Over/Under is 8.5 ... not bad & matches up with the odds in this link.

Whoopee ... that's up from 7.5 last year!! I might get my long-time wish of rising above the .500 Mendoza Line & staying there .... that's a huge FIRST Step on the way back to respectability.

No one will take you seriously if you're always below .500 ... we've seen that repeatedly in the press & our fans complain, but it IS what it IS!!

Those numbers are not out yet. Our projection won't be 8.5. More likely 7 over or 7.5 under.

The 5Dimes website has 8.5 alongside the Dolphins but those numbers are not bettable. Notice the lack of juice on the right side. The college over/unders will have let's say 9.5 at left along with -180 at right. That means 9.5 wins with a money line of -180 (180 to win 100) to go over 9.5. That means it's bettable...right now. When the juice is absent it's a work in progress.

Also, and this is admittedly a minor point, but the author of the article linked atop this thread doesn't fully understand betting odds and probability if he merely adds up the number of times a team is favored and announces that the team is therefore favored to have a winning record heading into the final game. It doesn't work that way. For example, let's say a team is favored 10 times by 1 point and underdog 5 times by 10 points. That hardly means they are favored to be 10-5 after 15 games. Not even close. The 1 point games carry a theoretical win likelihood of roughly 53% and the 10 point games would align with roughly a 22% chance. Instead of 10-5 the over/under would be a record of 7-8.

In this case I didn't look at it closely but it appeared the Dolphins were underdogs by slightly higher amount than their favoritism, particularly prior to the final two games listed.

Regardless, I despise Cantor Gaming and its overdone flashing light approach to sports gaming, sticking neon screens in your face and ruining some of the classically simple Las Vegas sportsbooks like Venetian and now Palms.

Dolphins are going 5-11....book it

 

[roy_miami]

those odds look fair to me. Philbin is the wildcard and could sway us anywhere from 10-6 to 4-12

Another 7-9 season but if we compete and limit mistakes in every game with Tanney leading the way, Ill be content.

Actually did find 8.5 googling ... but do AGREE ... 1) Still early for meaningful Odds & 2) 8.5 is High for us

My dream is to break that .500 Mendoza Line & stay there ... gonna be tough!!
