The Miami Dolphins began the 2025-26 NFL season in terrible fashion, dropping 6 of their first 7 games, leading to a 1-6 record through the first 7 weeks. As a matter of fact, they lost their first three games before registering a win. Miami’s biggest drawback was going 2-6 on the road last season. <\/p>
The loss of wide receiver Tyreek Hill to a freak knee injury in Week 4 against the Jets was a massive loss for the rest of the season. Nevertheless, quarterback Tua Tagovailoa had a career-high 15 interceptions, leading the league at one point before he was benched for rookie Quinn Ewers, who started three games for the Dolphins, in which he recorded one win and two losses. <\/p>
Despite a mid-season surge where they reeled off 4 wins in a row, the Dolphins could never truly recover from their start of the season. Overall, the team struggled mightily in run defense and coverage, offensive play execution, and penalty issues. <\/p>
Miami has now made a change after firing Mike McDaniel as the head coach, and gone on to sign former Packers’ defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley. Some key changes to the roster are also expected as the offseason progresses. <\/p>
The customary 17-game regular season for the Miami Dolphins<\/a> will include 6 games against their AFC East divisional rivals, including 3 at home and 3 on the road. The Dolphins will be on the road for 9 games and at home for 8 games in the upcoming season.<\/p> The Dolphins will then play 8 games, including 4 against an interconference division, the AFC West, and 4 against the intraconference NFC North division, based on the NFL’s rotation policy each year. <\/p> Since the Dolphins finished third in their division last season, they will play their remaining three games against teams that finished in the same position in their respective divisions. Thus, Miami will play against the third-placed teams from the AFC North, AFC South, and the NFC West.<\/p> Understanding <\/em><\/strong>how to bet on NFL games<\/em><\/strong><\/a> is crucial for maximizing the value of our expert picks and making informed wagers each week.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>Opponents<\/strong><\/th> Home\/Away<\/strong><\/th> Division<\/strong><\/th> Week<\/strong><\/th><\/tr><\/thead> Buffalo Bills<\/td> Home<\/td> AFC East<\/td> TBD<\/td><\/tr> New England Patriots<\/td> Home<\/td> AFC East<\/td> TBD<\/td><\/tr> New York Jets<\/td> Home<\/td> AFC East<\/td> TBD<\/td><\/tr> Kansas City Chiefs<\/td> Home<\/td> AFC West<\/td> TBD<\/td><\/tr> Los Angeles Chargers<\/td> Home<\/td> AFC West<\/td> TBD<\/td><\/tr> Cincinnati Bengals<\/td> Home<\/td> AFC North<\/td> TBD<\/td><\/tr> Chicago Bears<\/td> Home<\/td> NFC North<\/td> TBD<\/td><\/tr> Detroit Lions<\/td> Home<\/td> NFC North<\/td> TBD<\/td><\/tr> Buffalo Bills<\/td> Away<\/td> AFC East<\/td> TBD<\/td><\/tr> New England Patriots<\/td> Away<\/td> AFC East<\/td> TBD<\/td><\/tr> New York Jets<\/td> Away<\/td> AFC East<\/td> TBD<\/td><\/tr> Denver Broncos<\/td> Away<\/td> AFC West<\/td> TBD<\/td><\/tr> Las Vegas Raiders<\/td> Away<\/td> AFC West<\/td> TBD<\/td><\/tr> Indianapolis Colts<\/td> Away<\/td> AFC South<\/td> TBD<\/td><\/tr> Green Bay Packers<\/td> Away<\/td> NFC North<\/td> TBD<\/td><\/tr> Minnesota Vikings<\/td> Away<\/td> NFC North<\/td> TBD<\/td><\/tr> San Francisco 49ers<\/td> Away<\/td> NFC West<\/td> TBD<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>
