Who should Miami pull for during the bye?

November 12, 2023 admin Other Clubs 0

The Miami Dolphins have the weekend off, as they enjoy a much-need bye week in Week 10. With a 6-3 record, they lead the AFC East, but the Buffalo Bills, who are behind them are just one game back.

A number of other teams are still taking the field this weekend, and the results of their games will certainly affect Miami’s playoff odds and scenarios with just under half of the 2023 campaign remaining.

An offer for Dolphins fans

Below is our rooting guide for this weekend’s slate of games while the Dolphins enjoy their time away from the gridiron.

It might not be in the DNA to support a team in the division, but a Patriots win would only bring them to 3-7, while a Colts win would bring them to an even 5-5, which would have them vying for a wild-card spot.

If Miami were to lose their lead in the division, having other teams in that race continue to lose would be for the best.

Like the Colts, the Steelers have found themselves very much alive in the wild-card race at 5-3 entering Week 10. A loss against a non-conference opponent would be great for Miami.

The Titans are just behind the Colts in the AFC South standings at 3-5, so again, a non-conference loss would be great for the Dolphins, as they’d fall behind in the wild-card standings.

The Jaguars are actually ahead of Miami in the conference standings, and a win would drop them to the same 6-3 record. Jacksonville may still have the tiebreaker, but at least they’d be neck-and-neck with the Dolphins.
