At the MGM Grand and 11 other Las Vegas casinos, no AFC team has longer odds of winning the Super Bowl (80 to 1) than the Dolphins, according to a spokesman for those dozen MGM properties. And those are in line with odds put forth by other on-line and in-person gambling establishments.
Meanwhile, Sports Illustrated predicts the Dolphins will go 3-13.
But what if this national perception is wrong?
What if these Dolphins, who get back their starting quarterback, are closer to the team that went 10-6 in 2016 than the one that went 6-10 in 2017?
