Miami Dolphins 10,000/1 to Win Super Bowl
After week 1s embarrassing 59-10 beating at home, the Fish went to 2,000/1 in Vegas.
Now, after a 2nd humiliating defeat in which they were held scoreless, and defeated in back-to-back losses at home by a score of 102-10 (and looking to obviously 'tank' for draft picks), the Fish have rose to 10,000/1.

At this point in the season, they may well be the worst team ever.
One important note about NFL teams and judging them...The players are the best of the college crop they were selected from. I often look towards coaching and team morale as a major factor. You can have the best players on the planet, but if they don't have it together as a team, they're hopeless.

Forget about any Super Bowl.
Those odds should reflect just winning their division!

Dallas is a 21 pt favorite. That's an unusually high number for the NFL.
16-18 is typically max you'll ever see.

The Dolphins are in full tanking mode. The whole concept of tanking is obscene and needs to be stopped. Just what we need is for the NFL to emulate the NBA. I stopped watching that crap of a "professional" sports league 3 or 4 years ago. I don't miss it one bit.

Supposedly Tua Tagavailoa the QB at Alabama. I can't see it. Arm isn't strong enough to be #1 overall and is 6'1" and 215 or so and while a good athlete not a game-changer with his legs like a Lamar Jackson, Michael Vick, or Cam Newton.
The Herbert kid out of Oregon is getting the other hype. He is big and has a big time arm and is a really good athlete. Still makes a lot of really bad decisions at the college level though. What happens when the pressure is greater and the windows are smaller?
They really need to wait on Trevor Lawrence. The true Sophomore at Clemson right now. That dude is a flat out winner with all the IT factors you want.
Either way, the Fish traded for Josh Rosen over the off-season. You know, the 1st ever top 10 drafted QB in NFL history that was traded after his rookie season.
They have traded away all their best players in Ndamukong Suh, Jarvis Landry, Laremy Tunsil, and now Minkah Fitzpatrick. It is the tank job of all tank jobs for draft picks.
They have crapped the bed so bad, that this is at least a 5 year rebuild project even with massive cap room and massive amounts of draft picks. You aren't winning games with rookies surrounded by fellow rookies and 2nd and 3rd year guys and 10 to 20 guys who can't even make other teams rosters.
The Browns and Lions have recently gone 0-16, but this is without any doubt the weakest roster the NFL has ever seen in the modern era. They legitimately have serious needs at every single position on the field.
While crazy people talk about college teams being able to compete and beat NFL teams; this year may well be different. This team is so bad at the skill positions that a team like Alabama or Clemson might actually be able to compete with this team for 4 quarters. Maybe not win, but compete. That is how bad this team is right now.

They may appear horrible at the pro level, but the ability of college to compete would require adapting the pro system of play and defending an offensive game they're unfamiliar with. On the other hand, NFL players have been there and done that with college play.
While Alabama may upset the Dolphins in a game filled with errors and turnovers, if they were to play each other a dozen times, they'd lose at least 10 of them imo.
Its a matter of Miami being a team of former college best in disarray...vs. a good college team unfamiliar with and beneath the professional level.

I am a diehard Bama fan and believe that they would never beat an NFL team, no college team ever would!
