Buy the Miami Dolphins - What a difference a year can make in the NFL. The Dolphins’ franchise hit rock bottom last year but this year’s edition actually resembles a competitive football team. The common denominator is unquestionably Bill Parcells. You can’t deny his talent for evaluating and stockpiling football talent on the playing and coaching roster. While the talent level of this team still has a long way to go, we can surely see their football IQ and toughness on the field making an impact. Note what is currently happening in Dallas now that Parcells is gone. The glaring improvement on Miami’s offensive line is amazing when you consider what they put on the field in years past. The bottom-line and for the first time in many years, the Dolphins actually have organization, discipline and maybe more importantly, a real plan of attack. When betting the Dolphins this year it is in some ways like buying very low in the stock market. The pedigree for winning has always been there and with a couple of keys changes it looks as if there is no way to go but up. From looking at Miami’s upcoming schedule, I wouldn’t be shocked to see them post an above .500 record the rest of the way out. But more importantly, the lines should be in our favor. There will be some rough spots but overall, I am more than willing to put the buy sign on this team.
