Way too early to make any predictions, but my initial take is that the home schedule looks very favorable and the away schedule looks pretty brutal.

5-1 or 4-2 in the division. My Initial Prediction is 11-6 Again. 6-2 Home 5-4 Road.

Houston game is close to me, might be doable depending on when. I went to the 2006 and 2012 games there.

The Texans are building something special there IMO. Demeco Ryans looks like a home run as a head coach.

you'll have the opportunity to go to a Dolphins' game in Houston in 2 weeks.

Miami upsets KC and Pittsburgh upsets Buffalo. the following week Pittsburgh goes to Baltimore and Miami goes to Houston who defeated Cleveland. Easy.

I like the way you think, merc!

I'd root for us to win of course but Motor will get his yards

I think Miami takes a huge step back this year due to all the injuries and poor management of our drafts. The injuries to our defense are going to carry over. We will have a new coordinator if anyone is willing to sign. New scheme means learning which means struggling. 

On offense the line is in need of rebuilding with LT and Center being prime concerns.  We have no pass catching threat at TE and we don't have anyone that gets used to catch fade routes in the end zone. The defenses figured out how to disrupt the passing game by pressing Hill at the line. 

I see 6-11 this year. I think it's going to be brutal. The good news is we will rebound in 2025.

I guess anything is possible, but I see it the opposite way. I think we reload and get better. Time will tell.

We won 11 games this season with LT and C being concerns most of the season, while learning a new defense and not having a legit pass-catching threat at TE, and Hill getting pressed at the line. If all those things happen again, why would you think we'd win 5 fewer games? But I expect all those things to be addressed, and we'll take the next step.

i think it is way too early for season predictions (either way). i'll let you know what i think in August.
