Dolphins open at 50:1 odds to win the Super Bowl

The Colts have a bad defense, bad oline, Trent Richardson as a RB, yet there odds are considerably higher then the Dolphins. Hmmm, I wonder why?
 
Have you guys ever thought about June 1st cuts? you guys whine and whine, they don't want big names they want production.

Maybe because they know Luck's sister?
 
50:1 seems way too high...

The Jest seem way too high at 66:1 too. Damn, they have the same odds as the Vikings. What happened, did Peterson retire and I didn't hear about it?

Knowing the odds for all 32 teams gives us a chance to check out the Dolphins' 2014 opponents, and their Super Bowl odds. The week-to-week schedule has not yet been announced, but the teams the Dolphins will face are known.

First, the Dolphins will, of course, face their AFC East rivals twice, once at Sun Life Stadium in Miami and once on the road. Those three teams, the New England Patriots, New York Jets, and Buffalo Bills have respective Super Bowl odds of 9-to-1, 66-to-1, and 75-to-1. That gives the Patriots the fourth highest odss, while the Jets are 28th and the Bills 29th.

The 2014 season will see the AFC East face the AFC West and the NFC North. That means, each of the AFC East teams will face the Denver Boncos (7-to-1, 2nd), Green Bay Packers (10-to-1, 5th), Chicago Bears (28-to-1, 10th), Kansas City Chiefs (33-to-1, 11th (Tie)), San Diego Chargers (33-to-1, 11th (Tie)), Detroit Lions (40-to-1, 19th (Tie)), St. Louis Rams (40-to-1, 19th (Tie)) and Minnesota Vikings (66-to-1, 27th (Tie)).

The final two teams for the Dolphins to face in 2014 ar the two teams from the other two AFC division which finished 2013 in the same position in their division as the Dolphins did in 2013. That means Miami will face the Baltimore Ravens, who finished third in the AFC North and have 33-to-1 (11th (Tie)) Super Bowl odds, and the Jacksonville Jaguars, third from the AFC South and the team with the longest Super Bowl odds at this point, sitting at 150-to-1.

Its a fact they are very average players. You can't have that much money tied up in your offensive line let alone for a couple average players (especially having to re-sign Pouncey next year).

We need to hope Smith is a starter, sign a couple stop-gappers to one year deals (that we know can play), and draft a couple players to groom and be ready to take over next year like Martin, Su'a-filo, Yankey, Turner, Etc in the first few rounds.

that's just plain bogus...the day 1 guard group didn't even break the bank....neither did the right tackle market...we could have easily done more...

I would throw $25 on that to win $1250. If Tannehill is as good as Hoooops thinks he is we could easily do what the Bengals did last season, win lots at home and blow some opponents out, and if we can get in with some homefield advantage we could easily get to the big dance. We were a couple of Buffalo losses away from playing for a first round bye last season.

If Tannehill can play like he did in that stretch between the Panthers game and the second Bills game for the entire season we'll win 11 games easy.

funny you mention the bengals cause andy dalton was like the least pressured and sacked qb in football in 2013...

i think reports are we offered him 5 and 25 he signed for 5 and 30...in what the difference in guaranteed money was there i definitely wouldn't have let that deter me...as for his market i thought 5 and 25 was fair for the player going in...and with our whopping needs oline wise yeah 5 and 30 with the expectation that i get 2 years out of you and if i dont get 3 i'm willing to eat a little bit...

I can agree with you on that. I guess we are also going against 31 other teams. We have to take that into consideration once we set an amount we are willing to pay a player.
 
I think 10+ wins and playoffs is not unreasonable. Apart from 3 ugly losses to the Bills and Jets, we were having a pretty good season with a godawful oline and uninspired play from Starks and Solai, and Ellerbee and Wheel.
If we can sign 3 more oline veterans after 6/1 and draft 2 decent oline players, we should have enough competition in training camp to improve the unit.
Don't forget, we have a new oline coach. that is huge.
Sign Moreno and draft another big back. Draft another MLB and TE...and things suddenly look much better.
I would take those 50:1 odds.
