Most positive season prediction article I’ve seen

Time for my WAY TOO EARLY Miami Dolphins 2025 Season Win/Loss predictions.
This is subject to change, as i usually post a revised prediction right after the pre-season game that features the starters.
By then, late acquisitions and early injuries paint a different picture.
But for now, it’s about what do I think is going to happen?

Week 1: at Indianapolis Colts - QB Anthony Richardson is the “X” factor to this game. The Colts spent big on the trenches so they should run better and stop the run better too. But if QB Richardson plays at the same standard as 2024, even our humble secondary will create enough turnovers to seal the win.
DOLPHINS WIN 1-0.

Week 2: vs. New England Patriots - With the NFL’s easiest schedule facing every single rookie QB, Mike Vrabel’s first year as head coach should end up being a winning season. But QB Drake Maye now has enough film out there where Miami will understand how to confuse him. New coaches bring new offenses, new schemes and Vrabel’s last head coaching gig turned ugly fast. I think QB Tua Tagovailoa has a 3 TD day as the Dolphins take down the very young Patriots.
DOLPHINS WIN 2-0

Week 3: at Buffalo Bills - The Bilks are favored to win in all 17 games this year, but who thinks they’re actuallygoing to go undefeated? I don’t. I think Phillips, Chubb and Robinson terrorize QB Josh Allen into costly mistakes. I also think that the Dolphins won’t self destruct with turnovers as they have done the last two meetings. In an absolute BATTLE, the paradigm shifts with the Dolphins finally beating the Buffalo Bills with a last second K Jason Sanders field goal.
DOLPHINS WIN 3-0

Week 4: vs. New York Jets - Easy schedule for Jets new coach Aaron Glenn and new QB Justin Fields won’t change their fate as it takes time for new offensive and defensive schemes to gel. The Dolphins should decidedly overpower the Jets as the early season hype gets deafening and the Dolphins win again.
DOLPHINS WIN 4-0

Week 5: at Carolina Panthers - Easy schedule, Coach Dave Canales second year trying to get the most out of sophomore QB Bryce Young. But with a bottom of the league defense returning almost intact, the Dolphins continue their improbable run with a decisive win.
DOLPHINS WIN 5-0

Week 6: vs. Los Angeles Chargers - Head Coach Jim Harbaugh in his second year has invested heavily into the offensive line, significantly bettering the team’s ability to run and protect. If you ask less of QB Justin Herbert, he does just fine. Herbert seems to choke every time his team needs him to come through. I dont think the Dolphins match up well with the new-look, run first Chargers at all. In a tight game, the Chargers run over the Dolphins in the second half and secure the win.
DOLPHINS LOSE 5-1

Week 7: at Cleveland Browns - Coming off of a 3-14 2024 season, and whether it’s QB Joe Flacco or QB Shadeur Sanders running the offense, the Browns are expected to be non-competitive once again this season, even with Miles Garrett leading the defense. The Dolphins get back to their winning ways with a shaky start but strong finish win.
DOLPHINS WIN 6-1

Week 8: at Atlanta Falcons - In a battle of lefty QB’s, it’s Tua Tagovailoa vs Michael Penix. Penix showed something last year and it’ll be interesting to see if his development continues or if he regresses. Atlanta is a much-improved team with new, exciting pieces on both sides of the ball. This one comes down to ACCURACY. I believe the Dolphins pick off Penix to seal the victory in a wild one.
DOLPHINS WIN 7-1

Week 9: vs. Baltimore Ravens - With QB Lamar Jackson, RB Derrick Henry and a top 5 Defense, the Ravens simply overpower the Miami Dolphins in a sobering and reality readjusting loss.
DOLPHINS LOSE 8-2

Week 10: vs. Buffalo Bills The Bills traditionally get stronger as the season goes on and the coaches scheme second meetings against the Dolphins much better than early meetings. I think QB Josh Allen wills his team to a win with one stellar play after another.
DOLPHINS LOSE 8-3

Week 11: vs. Washington Commanders - Second year QB Jayden Daniels is UNSTOPPABLE. Unless the sophomore QB is hurt before the Dolphins Barcelona home game, the Dolphins drop their third game in a row to the eventual Super Bowl Champion Washington Commanders.

Week 12: BYE

Week 13: vs. New Orleans Saints - New Head Coach Kellen Moore, new QB Tyler Shough, good defense but not enough to stop QB Tua Tagovailoa.
DOLPHINS WIN 9-3

Week 14: at New York Jets - The Jets put up a decent fight but are overmatched once again.
DOLPHINS WIN 10-3

Week 15: at Pittsburgh Steelers - Whether it’s QB Aaron Rodgers or not, this season defining game turns everything aroubd for the Dolphins as all three units, offense, defense and special teams play the most competitive and complete game of the season and survive with a win.
DOLPHINS WIN 11-3

Week 16: vs. Cincinnati Bengals - QB Joe Burrow, WR Jamar Chase and WR Tee Higgins are just as unstoppable as the Bengals’ defense is terrible. In a high scoring shootout, Joe Burrow outduels his 2020 draft class teammate Tua Tagovailoa and gets the win.
DOLPHINS LOSE 11-4

Week 17: vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Head Coach Todd Bowles leads QB Baker Mayfield, WR Mike Evans and WR Chris Godwin into an impressive win with the Bucs stiffling defense shutting down the Dolphins.
DOLPHINS LOSE 11-5

Week 18: at New England Patriots - In a winner take all, season defining moment, the Miami Dolphins blow out the struggling New England Patriots and by doing so, WIN THE AFC EAST for the first time in a looooong time.
DOLPHINS WIN 12-5

 

[Mello Yello]

Miami might benefit from any number of things this season:

(1) A franchise QB starting 17 games
(2) A stable, consistent OL
(3) Clear talent advantages at the skill positions

>> All of those things should put points on the board & a top-5 offense could easily result.

(4) A dominant pass rush
(5) A strong run defense built on powerful interior DL and aggressive ILBs
(6) A defensive system entrenched enough to hide it's weaknesses through smart players.

>> All of those things could lead to a scoring defense that ends up being in the top-3rd of the league.


If you score points and you stop your opponents in critical moments, you're going to win. In that sense, there's nothing wrong with pointing out the potential in a Dolphins team entering what is essentially the 2nd year of the new rebuild.

We should expect some results. We should be optimistic.

 

[Finsup1981]

This is time of the year I start drinking the koolaid and thinking best case scenario for every unit on the team, how we are going to have 10 players in the pro bowl and win the Super Bowl. I can never not get excited no matter how bad we are, it’s part of being a fan till the season plays out and reality kicks in. So before my pessimism and reality kick in, here’s my irrational positivity prediction post:

QB- Tua has learned from his mistakes, doesnt take unnecessary chances and slides when a defender is near. He takes the knowledge of the short passing game he learned to utilize last year and due to having more time in the pocket from a much improved oline, he can weave in the big chunk plays. Finishes with a 5k yards 69 completion percentage 45 TD 11 int and a 106 QBR, playing all 17 games.

RB: Achane begins off as the starter until Ollie Gordon takes over as the bell cow bruiser, also fixing our short yardage issues with a big brushing back who can churn for those extra yards. Jaylen Wright and Achane are used in a rotation with Achane seeing more snaps in the slot. Wright breaks out from last year with 600 yards 4.8 ypc, and 5 Td, Achane has 850 yards rushing 650 yards receiving with 5.2 ypc and 8.7 ypc and a combined 13 tds, and Gordon has 800 yards with a 4.1 ypc and 12 tds.

TE/FB: Jonnu continues his play from last year, beating his own record and getting 1k for the first time with 9 td. Pharoah brown and Julian hill provide some great blocking and reduced penalties from Hill, and Conyers starts breaking out at the end of the year. Ingold continues to block at an elite level and will be utilized far less with the FB dives with the addition of Gordon and the occasional reception.

WR: Reek and Waddle play angry and have bounce back years, 1500 yards and 14 TD for Hill and 1200 yards and 12 TD for Waddle. Malik Washington steps up and is a solid slot while NWI is our red zone guy and has his best year yards wise but not TD wise, we have too much talent to spread it to. Tahj Washington provides a few fun plays and gives us a different option on punt and kickoff returns. One of Andrew Armstrong and Theo Wease stick and provide some flashes For the future

OL: the most improved unit on the team, Savaii is an above average plug and play starter, Brewer continues his strong play, Jackson ascends to a top 5/10 RT, Paul has some shaky moments but his size allows him to make up for the mistakes and he gets better as the year goes on. Daniels has no ill effects from the injury and plays like the top 5 guard he was last year before he got hurt. The oline stays healthy for the most part, and there is never more than 1 starter out so we only have to hide the flaws of one our crappy depth options and we manage to navigate that landmine.

DL: Phillips and Chubb have bounce back seasons, giving the Dolphins 3 players with double digit sacks along with rising superstar Chop Robinson. The pass rush proves devastating, Kenneth Grant is a monster plugging up the middle and Sieler continues his strong play, and our DL is the best unit in the team and in the entire NFL.

LB: Dodson and Brooks continue to work well together and newcomer Willie Gay provides solid depth and is a menace in the sub packages he plays in. Brooks in particular has an All pro first team caliber season with the additional freedom he will have from the beef up front.

DB: the biggest question mark on the team gets answered with strong play from some youngsters, Dante Trader Pat McMorris Jason Marshall and BJ Adams provide strong depth and give the veterans like Davis Ibo and Kohou the support they need. They have moments where the inexperience is apparent but they gel with the pressure brought by the DL and don’t anchor the team.

ST: Sanders continues his excellent play and is almost automatic, going to the the Pro Bowl. The punter is a big improvement and top 10 in the league.

Tua is first team all pro/Pro Bowl starter and league MVP leading the Dolphins with a weak schedule to a 13-4 record, an AFC east championship and the first seed in the AFC. In the playoffs we beat the Bills then the Ravens, and in the Super Bowl in a thrilling victory we deny the Eagles a repeat title with Tua winning MVP.

It's quite possible that we've improved at every single position group this offseason except CB

12-5?

Haven't been to fora of all 32 teams, but the ones I've visited, largely and overall, are optimistic. Part of being a fan. FH, like other fora, will have those who cannot allow themselves or others to be optimistic. 12 wins is a little high for me, but I'm optimistic.

Whomever this clown is that wrote this, is delusional.

 

[TrickyWilliams]

It's quite possible that we've improved at every single position group this offseason except CB

Oh and OT, forgot T.Stead to PP is a definite downgrade

 

[Finsup1981]

Oh and OT, forgot T.Stead to PP is a definite downgrade

Well I thought when you said position group you meant the whole offensive line not tackle guard center etc, so while Paul is absolutely a downgrade from Armstead the upgrade from Savaii/Daniels outweighs that imo, especially since pressure up the middle is worse for Tua and Paul is also not on his blindside.

Depth wise I’m not going to get into that because besides Kion Smith I have no faith in the interior options unless one of the UDFA(looking at you Addison West) or Andrew Meyer emerge. Though Meyer is kinda limited to backup C wish they prior try to use him at guard over Borom

 

[dolphan]

We’re going to Buffalo on a short week…a team who owns us and beats everyone at home…and winning?

Thats going to be amazing. I’ll try not to let the tragedy of their apparent plane crash before week three sour the accomplishment

 

[GRYPHONK]

When you have a franchise QB, you will always be in contention, at least for playoffs.

Whether he can stay healthy is yet to be seen.

With a healthy Tua, 12-5/13-4 is very doable

 

[PhinFan1968]

I'm gonna slap the hell outta my supplier...he's obviously been holding out on the good ****.

 

[danmarino7051]

So we play 7 teams (8 games because Bills x 2) that went to the playoffs last year. In 7 of those 8 games we are at home.

Over the past 3 seasons the Dolphins have the 4th best home record in the NFL. They’re behind only Buffalo, Eagles, and Chiefs. We’ve won nearly 75% of all home games since 2022.

If we can stay on par and win 5-6 of those 8 games, (tough ask I know), then winning 6 out of 8 games against the likes of the Pats, Jets, Falcons, Saints, Colts, and Panthers would give us 11 or 12 wins on the season.

I predicted that we’d win 10-11 games this season and I think it’s not only possible, but likely… if…IF.. Tua stays healthy.
