Miami Dolphins Odds to Win the 2020 AFC East After Selecting Tua Tagovailoa

The Miami Dolphins were projected to win 4.5 games last season but rallied after starting 0-7 to win five games and mostly quieting their critics.  Now comes the selection of Tua Tagovailoa, which has shifted their odds of winning the AFC East from 11-1 to 6-1.  This year's AFC East should finally be competitive now that Tom Brady is gone.

The Dolphins made the Alabama quarterback the fifth overall pick in the NFL draft Thursday, and hope he can become a franchise quarterback and the centerpiece of their rebuilding effort that began a year ago.

Miami was undeterred by his long injury history, most recently a dislocated and fractured hip that ended his 2019 season in mid-November.

“For me and my family, whoever decided to take a chance on us, that’s where I belonged,” Tagovailoa said. “My biggest thing is I’m trying to prove this was the right decision.”
