Next 2 games are big for Pittsburgh since Baltimore should win their next 2.

Pittsburgh VS Indy I think would be an interesting match up. Last time they played a few years ago on MNF?

The Jets have overrated themselves into the top seed (so far). SMH.

2 years ago on a Sunday (day game) in Pittsburgh. Indy won 24-20.

That was a great game. As have most of them been over the recent years.

As of right now, I'd say Indy holds serve at home against Pittsburgh. Probably the primetime Saturday night game. Colts win.

New England goes to Oakland and wins.

That would set up Indianapolis at Baltimore and New England at the New York Jets.

Tuck Rule rematch but this time in Oakland.

Miami has a big hill to climb, but have a fairly easy road to get there.

Chicago - W
Oakland - W (though should be tough)
Cleveland - L (again tough, Miami's inept offense with Cleveland's improving defense spells disaster)
NYJ - L
Buffalo - W
Detroit -W
New England - L (last game was a fluke, i think. this game is winnable)

I think they can finish 11-5 but realistically i see them rolling into the finish line at 9-7.

I don't see that Bears game being real easy for Miami either. I like Chicago in that one.

I concur. Not that I think the Bears are extremely great but the game is at Miami and they seem to blow at home.

just beat Tennessee at home with a 3rd string QB. not sure why you say they blow at home.

if any team's 1st 3 home games were pittsburgh, NYJ, NE they'd lose 2/3. Miami is a good team, just had a very rough 1st half schedule. gets easier now.

Ah I didn't realize the Titans game was at home. Most teams can win at home even against the good teams that is why I made the comment. They may beat Chicago but I wouldn't bet on it.

lost by a bad TD call (the infamous "fumble, but we can't decide who recovered it, even though randy starks picked it up and danced to the sidelines with it, so pittsburgh ball" game) at home.
lost by a TD due to horrible coverage (by a player who THANK GOD was released) to the jets, at home
lost in a rout when their ST took them from tied kicking a go ahead FG to down 21 in a matter of seconds.

I'm not saying they are even close to the best in the league but to say they are bad at home because they lost 3 games (2 of which were close, 1 of which was robbed, IMO) to 3 of the best teams in the league is ludicrous.

give them some props.

as for the bears, miami will be all over cutler. chi's o-line is weak sauce and the dolphins have the 2nd leading sacker in the league. mark it. W

Ha I stand corrected sir. I still can't hop on the bandwagon for the W this week though. I don't know enough about Thigpen to say he can win the game for them. Trust me I know about getting robbed of W's though. lol

fair enough. more room for me.

one of these years it's gonna happen and I'm gonna look like a genius for riding it out through all those tough times.

Ha hey man that is what makes you a fan. You stick with your team like I have the Ravens. I seem to be the only person on here that had a problem with the ending of the Ravens/Falcons game but that is part of being a fan.

The Dolphins are teh gayness.

I can think of about 10 teams in the AFC that scares me more than Miami.

Bolded the ones you're laughably wrong about.

Can't disagree with Steelers, Ravens, Colts, Jets, Pats (especially since the dolphins are 0-4 against that group)

Could argue about Chiefs and Raiders, but i'm not convinced the dolphins are markedly better than those 2.

The others, you're just wrong about.

The Dolphins would beat the Chiefs. Badly. The Chargers would beat the Dolphins. Badly.
