I'm thinking they romp in the AFC East, overtaking the PATS. They beat the PATS at the beginning of last year and had GB beat mid-season until late-game heroics by Rodgers in one of the best games all season. Beefed up their receiving corps in the off-season, though DeVante Parker looks questionable to return before the regular season because of a nagging foot injury. Question mark is still the coaching staff, after the Fins lost 5 our of the 8 down the stretch to get disqualified from the playoffs. Had the Broncos beat at Mile High in week 12 before Q4 meltdown. Ceiling still high for Tannehill in the read-option offense. Dark horse MVP candidate.

Only 27 days now until preseason game 1 against Da Bears. Can't wait!!

Rube is winning CSFMB so far this week

28-1 Super Bowl
12-1 AFC

If you really believe, back it up...then Mayweather out the ticket.

I am in on NE for the Super Bowl at 9 and 10-1....made a few wagers. When I am in vegas and I win a little, I stop in the Book, drop $20 or $50 on a ticket or 2....

Still sporting a STL Cardinal v Mariners at 63-1...one side not holding up well....

That pays nothing....

I've brought this up a million times, but it never stops being funny to me, so here we go again:

Like most old white sportswriters, Hub thinks that Bill Parcells is some kind of genius, and thus talks about him the way Bernstein talks about Ozzie Guillen. The funniest example of this was a 3-year stretch in which he unsuccessfully picked the Chad Henne-helmed Dolphins to make the playoffs because he "like[d] the way that team [was] put together." This was funny on a number of levels--not least of which was hearing Hub double down on his belief that Jeff Ireland is a "strong football guy" just as the rest of America was coming to the realization that Ireland is actually a laughably incompetent football guy, and a terrible human being to boot. But the real upshot was the Hubbest Thing Ever, which is when Hub picked the 2009 Dolphins to make the playoffs, and they went 7-9, and then the 2010 Dolphins started 2-0 and Hub actually, seriously, legitimately said "teehee, guess I just picked 'em a year too early, eh guys, teehee!" and then the 2010 Dolphins ended up 7-9 too.

You can't do that to me and bring up a past Hub prediction about Miami. This is the guy who on the air said I was dumb when I called in for saying that Forte can't run between the tackles, only for him to repeat exactly what I said on the air about a week later. He's a smooth talker and I enjoy listening to him, but when it comes to handicapping - forget it. His K.C. Super Bowl prediction from a few years ago is case and point. Then his Kyle Long call put more egg on his face.

I always wondered why the Bears kicked him out of the broadcast booth. I've wondered the same about Wayne Larrivee, whom everyone loved in Chicago. I think Jeff Joniak does a respectable job, but he's no where on the level of Larrivee. Larrivee was to the Bears what Pat Foley has been to the Hawks. Maybe you know or remember, B.F., what the story was behind both of their departures? Can't say I am a fan of Thayer either. Hard to tell whether he makes stuff up or knows what he is talking about. Too often it sounds like gibberish.

Here's good old Wayne in his prime with the Bears.

Tannehill will not take them anywhere.

He looked like a frightened schoolgirl against the Buffalo pass rush.

Also have to wait and see if Brady's suspension is lowered from 4 games.

I was buying the futures on them last year only to see my 50-1 or 60-1 wagers go up in smoke with the late season meltdown. No way that's happening again.

It already happened "again" in 2013, when they got shut out by the Bills, then had every possible tiebreaker go their way, then lost at home to Geno fucking Smith. I have no idea how anyone can have faith in Joe Philbin at this point, but you did just refer to Roger Goodell as "a shrewd Machiavellian manipulator," so maybe you have some weird Oliver Sacks disease where overpromoted bumblers seem really competent to you.

In fairness to Hubbie, he did predict an outright Dolphin road win in 06 when the Bears were 7-0 and Miami 1-6. He liked the way they "matched up." Joey Harrington showed Grossman what an NFL QB looks like.

I liked what I saw of Miami last year, but it's hard to predict a romp in a division with the Patriots. Big year for Tannehill; I do see a lot of upside and he does show it, but this year is time to show it consistently.
