Miami Dolphins 2011 Super Bowl Predictions: The Miami Dolphins come into the 2010 season looking to get over the hump, and they'll try with a brand new toy in Brandon Marshall. The Dolphins fell just short of the playoffs last year as the Jets and Ravens snuck in on the last week of the season instead. The Dolphins went 7-9 and 4-2 in the division as they exploited the Jets both times they played. The Dolphins will have to get off to a fast start because the Patriots and the Jets will surely position themselves properly for the division run.

Bodog Sportsbook has the Miami Dolphins' 2011 Super Bowl Odds are at +3000.
NFL Predictions Offense: When Chad Pennington tore up his shoulder again in Week 3 last year, Henne, a second-round pick in 2008, took over and went 7–6 the rest of the way, even while getting little support from his defense. Henne has the size, arm and confidence to be a quality NFL quarterback but still must develop other necessary traits such as touch and pocket awareness. Ronnie Brown will have to stay healthy if the Dolphins plan on going anywhere in the AFC East. The Dolphins acquired wide receiver Brandon Marshall from the Broncos for a fifth round pick, and later signed him to a monster extension. They will need every yard possible from him, especially in a division that presents Darelle Revis and Antonio Cromartie in the same secondary. The Miami Dolphins' AFC East Odds are at +1600 to win the division.
NFL Prediction Defense: Mr. Miami Dolphin, Jason Taylor, is now with the Jets. Joey Porter has signed with the Arizona Cardinals. Although they brought in Carlos Dansby from Arizona, the Dolphins defense will have to hold up for 16 games in order for Chad Henne to truly have a chance to drive this team deep into some winter football. As the defense crumbled around him, the unheralded Randy Starks put together the most consistent season of any Dolphin in 2009, mostly while playing end. Now Starks will be asked to move inside and man the nosetackle position on many downs, at least until veteran Jason Ferguson returns from suspension (for performance-enhancing drugs) after eight weeks, or until massive Paul Soliai can control his weight enough to be counted upon. The Dolphins have a great talent in cornerback Vontae Davis, and you can expect him to have bigger numbers in his sophomore season. The Miami Dolphins' Win Total is at 8.5 with the under at -105.
Head Coach\Special Teams: Tony Sparano enjoyed a magical debut season, but the encore was more challenging and disappointing. He will be tested again this season, and not just strategically, but philosophically as he had some questionable game management decisions. No problems in the kicking game. Dan Carpenter missed only three field goal attempts last season, and punter Brandon Fields was much more efficient than earlier in his career, forcing opponents to start 25 times inside their 20-yard line. Kick coverage overall improved greatly over 2008, but the return game still needs work.
