Oddsmakers believe the Dolphins will endure a record of UNDER .500.  With limited talent on offense and Miami’s failure to snag Jeff Fisher as head coach, Gambling911.com has to believe the oddsmakers are right here. 

Now granted, if this team is even remotely better than last year’s Dolphins squad, they do have a chance at beating Oakland, St. Louis, Tennessee, Seattle, Jacksonville and Buffalo at home and Arizona, Indianapolis and Buffalo on the road.  But that would be such a stretch. 

They can probably still win 7 games, so the OVER/UNDER here is a little tough to put money on.

The good news is that quarterback David Garrard believes his chances of starting are pretty good and, with that in mind, the OVER might have a slight edge, especially with Miami’s relative “soft” schedule. 

"I think my chances are pretty good," Gerrard said Friday. "I don't think they would have me here or even say that it was open competition if my chances weren't good. I know I can still play.

"The quarterback position is the one position that you can clearly see most of the time who should be out there. As long as I continue to do my job and do what I can do and play my best, then hopefully that's enough."
