There's optimism when it comes to the in 2021. They are coming off of their best season in years, as head coach Brian Flores put up a 10-6 record in his second season with the Dolphins. Miami narrowly mi sed out on the playoffs, but fans have a good feeling when it comes to 2021. The Dolphins' ceiling seemingly hinges on the play of second-year quarterback , but Miami added some intriguing weapons for him this offseason in and .The AFC East should again be an interesting division to follow, and the Dolphins could be the team to watch. Below, we will break down every game on Miami Toni Kukoc Jersey 's schedule this upcoming season. Is this team postseason bound in 2021? Caesars Sportsbook has Miami's O/U win total at 9.5.Week 1 at Line: Patriots-2.5Opponent win total:O/U 9This game is actually one of of the 2021 season. Unfortunately, it's because I'm picking against the Dolphins. New England played host to the Dolphins in Foxborough in Week 1 last year as well, and defeated them, 21-11. and the Patriots faded as the year went on, but this team should be different in 2021. Bill Belichick returns all of his defensive opt-outs and also made several notable additions in free agency. You know he's especially motivated after won a in his very first season with the . Patriots come out and make a statement in Week 1.Prediction:Dolphins lose 27-21Projected record:0-1Week 2 vs. Opponent win total:O/U 10.5The Dolphins started off the season on the wrong foot, but they have another big opportunity to score a divisional victory in Week 2. The Dolphins have lost their last five matchups against the Bills, but I think there's a good opportunity to split the season series here. Tagovailoa didn't fare well in his first start against Buffalo in Week 17 last year, but both his hip and his confidence are improved coming into Year 2. Give me the upset. Prediction: Zach LaVine Jersey Dolphins win 28-27Projected record:1-1Week 3 at Opponent win total:O/U 7.5With fans allowed back in the stands, Allegiant Stadium might be one of the toughest places to play in the . I would be nervous for any road team in Las Vegas, but the Dolphins may have some extra motivation in Week 3. Last year in Week 16 when playing in Vegas, Tagovailoa was benched as the veteran pulled off a miraculous comeback. Tagovailoa probably has this game marked down on his calendar, and I'll give Miami the nod to steal a win against what could be an inconsistent Raiders team.Prediction:Dolphins win 24-21Projected record:2-1Week 4 vs. Opponent win total:O/U 10The Colts are a tough team to judge on paper, as we don't know if is going to be able to reinvent himself now that he's reunited with Frank Reich. The Colts are ready to compete right now, but how much could bad quarterback play hamper them? I'll take Miami at home here.Prediction:Dolphins win 28-23Projected record: Scottie Pippen Jersey 3-1Week 5 at Tampa Bay BuccaneersOpponent win total:O/U 11.5I'm not betting against the reigning Super Bowl champions at home.Prediction:Dolphins lose 30-21Projected record:3-2Week 6 at (London)Opponent win total:O/U 6It's Tagovailoa vs. . Another big game between the two on a neutral playing field. These two young stars last met in the 2019 Playoff National Championship, where Clemson thrashed Alabama 44-16. Lawrence threw for 347 yards and three touchdowns while Tagovailoa pa sed for 295 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions. I expect the Jaguars to take a step forward in 2021, but give me Miami here in a close battle. Prediction:Dolphins win 29-27Projected record:4-2Week 7 vs. Opponent win total:O/U 7.5The Falcons are somewhat of an afterthought this season, but offense should still be able to put up points. If they can play with a lead in 2021 is yet to be determined, but maybe the hiring of Arthur Smith ends up being a great thing. I think the Falcons could be a potential trap game here, and could be a very dangerous weapon as well.Prediction:Dolphins lose 31-24Projected record:4-3Week 8 at Buffalo BillsOpponent win total:O/U 10.5After pegging the Dolphins for an upset win over Buffalo in Week 2, gets his revenge in Week 8. Miami splits the season series.Prediction:Dolphins lose 27-21Projected record:4-4Week 9 vs. Opponent win total:O/U 4.5The Texans are expected to be one of the worst teams in the NFL and situation is still up in the air. The Dolphins get back on track after a two-game losing streak. Prediction:Dolphins win 31-10Projected record:5-4Week 10 vs. (TNF)Opponent win total:O/U 11Lamar Jackson will always be able to keep defenses on their toes, but it's po sible Dennis Rodman Jersey Baltimore's pa sing attack could take a leap forward in 2021. The Ravens went out and signed in free agency, but more importantly drafted and . Jackson will make sure this team returns to the postseason, and I'll give the Ravens the edge in prime time here.Prediction:Dolphins lose 30-23Projected record:5-5Week 11 at Opponent win total:O/U 6Dolphins fans are going to hate me for this one, but I'm labeling this as a trap game. The Jets won't be good in 2021, but they have a new quarterback in and a defensive-minded head coach in Robert Saleh. Miami is the better team, but I say the Dolphins split the season series with the Jets after a very off day in Week 11.Prediction:Dolphins lose 24-18Projected record:5-6Week 12 vs. Opponent win total:O/U 7.5Angry with their lo s to the Jets, the Max Strus Jersey Dolphins defense steps up and gives a hard time in Miami. Controlling touches through the air will be important here, but this linebacking corps is up to the task. Tagovailoa rebounds as well against a young, yet talented defense. Prediction:Dolphins win 28-24Projected record:6-6Week 13 vs. Opponent win total:O/U 7Some are high on the Giants' potential after they selected and with their first two picks in the draft, but is going to have to be the one to elevate this franchise. They are a hard team to evaluate, but I say the Dolphins win this matchup after a solid bounce-back win against the Panthers.Prediction:Dolphins win 30-25Projected record:7-6Week 15 vs. New York JetsOpponent win total:O/U 6After dropping the first game to the Jets, the Dolphins don't me s around in Week 15. Tagovailoa throws two touchdowns and rushes for a
