At 3-4, Miami will likely need to finish 7-2 to earn a playoff berth. There’s a chance a 9-7 team earns a Wild Card spot this season, but that means the Dolphins would still have to finish 6-3.

But if you look at their schedule down the stretch, it’s not as imposing as it once looked.

The Dolphins have nine games left and only two of the teams currently have winning records. One opponent is at .500 and six are under .500.

Three of their next four games are on the road, but then four of their final five are at home.

Week 10 at Philadelphia (3-4): The Eagles were supposed to have one of the league’s top offensive attacks this season, but so far they’re 17th in scoring at 22.9 points per game and quarterback Sam Braford’s passer rating is 76.4, 30th in the NFL. Receiver Jordan Matthews leads the league in drops. The Eagles defense has been decent, allowing 19.6 points per game — 11th-best in the league.

Week 11 vs. Dallas (2-5): This will likely be the return of Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo from the injured reserve list after he missed much of the season with a fractured collarbone. That’s not ideal for the Dolphins although Romo could be rusty after a long time away from the field.

Week 13 vs Ravens (2-6): Here come the Ravens, a team that always gives the Dolphins problems. The Dolphins have lost five straight to Baltimore, last defeating them in an overtime game in 2007 — Miami’s only win that season. The Ravens have defeated the Dolphins each of the last two seasons in Miami. But this year’s Ravens are struggling. Their usually stout defense is giving up 26.8 points per game, eighth-worst in the NFL. They’re scoring 23.8 points per game, which is middle-of-the-pack at 15th in the league. They also lost receiver Steve Smith for the season to an Achilles injury.

I would take the under on 7-9. But we'll probably finish 8-8 just because that is the absolute worst case scenario.
 
The AFC wild card teams will be the Steelers and one of the Raiders/Jets/Bills/us, and this week will go a long way towards deciding that. A loss in Buffalo finishes us, barring something stupidly miraculous.
 
i wouldn't be so sure about the steelers. Losing bell hurts a lot. i think the raiders have a better shot at the 5th spot.
 
I think this team can go 9-7 at least. The pats game was a fluke against a really good team at home. I believe in this team
 
The schedule was favorable to start the season, yet here we are at 3-4.

When you're relying on Ryan Tannehilll leading your team, the schedule is never favorable.
 
Let's see how they fare against a desperate Bills team on Sunday. It's a crucial game but I'm not too confident we'll be able to get the W.

IF we win, then I definitely think we have a shot. But that's a big, a HUGE "if".
 
Nine games left...i think we go 5-4 for another 8-8 season.

11/8 @ Bills 11:00 AM
11/15 @ Eagles 11:00 AM
11/22 vs Cowboys 11:00 AM
11/29 @ Jets 11:00 AM
12/6 vs Ravens 11:00 AM
12/14 vs Giants 6:30 PM
