Dolphins Playoff Chances, Odds & Prediction for 2022 NFL Season

Updated: Sep 10, 5:00pm UTC

A 1-8 start to the 2021 NFL season was too much for the Miami Dolphins to overcome, resulting in them missing out on the playoffs. The organization has since made plenty of moves, ranging from adding superstar wideout Tyreek Hill hiring Mike McDaniel as the head coach.

The AFC is shaping up to be as competitive as ever, meaning the Dolphins have a tough road if they hope to make the playoffs. Thankfully, oddsmakers help shed some light on just how realistic of a possibility that is.

Dolphins 2022 Season Prediction

The Dolphins certainly underperformed last season and a big part seems to be from ex-head coach Brian Flores' coaching style. Now that McDaniel has in control, things should go a lot smoother.

The Dolphins have a solid defense, and if Tua Tagovailoa can have instant chemistry with Hill, the offense could be taken to another level.

With last year's shortcomings in the past, I feel confident that the Dolphins can hit the over on their win total.
