Miami Dolphins
The Miami Dolphins are a playoff team that doesn’t wow anyone at first glance. Miami didn’t sneak into the playoffs on the last day of the season with a .500 record like the San Diego Chargers, but the Dolphins are also not a team that turns playoff heads. Why?

By protecting the football, playing solid defense and having an efficient quarterback. Those 12 word's from Jeff's article describe the Miami Dolphins perfectly. Another stat worth observing: In the last 5 games both teams Defense ranked on points per game are with in 1.75 points of each other. The heat index for the game is 79 degrees, the crowd at this game will be 95% Dolphin which is a differnt make-up of fan then say a Jet or Pat game. Our House FFF FinFanForever

The Ravens have already beat the Dolphins in Miami and completely decimated the wildcat, so confidence will not win this football game. Not real sure how Miami can win this game unless the Ravens beat themselves. The Phins cannot afford to turn the ball over even once against the ravens or rely on gimmicks and tricks against this defense. They will have to score more than 13 points to win this game...

I am not real confident that the Fins can pull this game off (I wish they were playing the colts or Chargers) but even if they don't it has been a great season. I think that if it comes to the 4th quarter and they are within 7 the Ravens better look out. As for the first loss to Baltimore the Fins are a much different team now. I do think they need to get out of the Wildcat and pound the ball. If they can run on the ravens it will demoralize the whole Baltimore team and turn the tides in Miami's favor.
