If you're hoping for a win to stop the storm, this is your week. If you're fearing a win for what it would do for the Andrew Luck draft chance, this is your week.
If the Dolphins don't win this week, you can't find a win on the schedule. There's a reason the winless Dolphins are a 2-point favorite in this game. Because as the Dolphins are, Denver is worse. They've also just traded their top receiver, Brandon Lloyd, and start quarterback Tim Tebow, who sparks wildly different ideas and projections. Denver does nothing even average. Here are their offensive rankings: 26th in yards/game (303.6); 27th in passing (201.8); 22nd in rushing (101.8) and 19th in points (21.0).
On defense, Denver is: 31st in points allowed (28.0); 24th in yards allowed (385.8); 22nd in passing yards allowed (262.4) and 23rd in rushing yards allowed (123.4).
The Dolphins are right there with Denver. In fact, in the heavyweight categories the Dolphins are 30th offensively (15 points a game) and 27th defensively (30 points a game).
