IMO, at least 8 wins this year for the Miami Dolphins.

lol shocking prediction, 99% of the board sees 8 wins as a longshot..meanwhile ohall our resident myopic homer sees 8 wins as a minimum.
 
easy schedule this year, see the number at 8 or 9 with NO playoffs and a middle of the pack draft pick next year. Continuing to go no place fast
 
Over. Not only is the schedule not as difficult, there is no way they start 0-7. How far over 6 depends on the defense and the QB. Obviosly the defense has been the strength but you don't know how a new scheme will work out. The QB play has to be better then last year simply because the WR corps if a lot weaker. Running a WCO will make it easier on the WRs as that scheme doesn't demand a true #1 threat to be efficient.
 
With this schedule, playing Buffalo twice? I'll take the over. 7 wins.
 
Under!!!! The real question is, over/under one win. We have zero talent on the offensive side of the ball. I mean reggie cant throw to himself.
 
Dolphins will be at least 9-7 this year maybe even 10-6. Look at the numbers. We lost 5 games by 3 points or less. Sparano was clueless. If we can sign Wake, keep the defense intact and maybe run the ball a bit more, we will win at least 9 games.

Garrard will have a better season than Manning if his back remains healthy. that's a prediction. Remember Garrard? he's not the fresh name or Manning but he can move, if he's healthy he will throw for 3500 yards and 25tds. He will remain accurate.

Phins have been hit with terrible luck and I think it will start to turn for them.

Now go ahead and bash me. Come'on. I'm expecting it.
 
Under. I've been predicting good things from this team year after only to be let down. Time to prove it to me.
 
Over...hell, we can get 6 wins from just our home schedule!

New England__13-3
Buffalo_______6-10
New York_____8-8
Jacksonville___5-11
Tennessee____9-7
Oakland______8-8
Seattle_______7-9
St Louis______2-14

Yes, I know there was a lot of bad teams we should've beat over the last 2 seasons, but one can argue poor head coaching cost us most of those wins. Granted, our QB play wasn't anything to write home about, but even Moore showed some signs last year. Hopefully he'll improve if we don't land a ready to go QB in the draft...which other than Luck and maybe Griffin, is a strong possibility. And if we do pick up a Tannehill, Cousins, or Weeden, maybe we finally solve our QB issues for the next several years even if he has to sit a year.

I'm not saying we have a powerhouse team...because we don't, but if we have a good draft and even marginally improved QB play, this team can contend for a wild card spot. The top of the AFC isn't as dominant as it has been in the past few seasons. A 9-7 team can get in. Is 9-7 pushing it? Maybe. But let's see what kind of impact Philbin has on this team before writing 2012 as a complete regression! Parity works wonders for teams like ours! Look at what a rookie head coach did for San Fran. Their QB situation before last season was marginal at best and Smith managed to nearly lead his team to the Super Bowl.

I'm sorry if this is too optimistic for some of you, but hey it's my opinion and a very manageable one if we get a few bounces to go our way. If we can plug a few of the glaring holes on our team (namely the right side of the line, safety, an athletic receiver, and another pass rusher) in the draft, we can contend for a wild card berth. Long shot, maybe...a possibility, definitely.
