Miami Dolphins Betting
The 2008 Miami Dolphin are in full rebuilding mode under Bill Parcells house cleaning that has seen about 25 percent of the roster overhauled and a new coaching staff. Sportsbooks have the 1008 Miami Dolphins winning 5 regular season games. Long time veteran Dolphins Zach Thomas, Jason Talyor were cleaned out so that Parcells could place his stamp on the team. In 1997 Parcells took over the hapless 1-15 NY Jets and turned them into a 9 win playoff team. Bettor will be looking to profit from a similar turnaround by Parcells.

Defensive Team Rank: 32nd Rushing, 4th Passing, 30th Scoring
The Miami offense will feature a running attack led by Ricky Williams and Ronnie Brown as the Dolphins look thin at WR. Chad Pennington will bring stability and accuracy to the QB position. 1st overall pick Jake Long will get plenty of opportunities to run block on the left side. Ted Ginn Jr. will be the #1 WR will get every chance to show his ability on more than punt returns.
The Miami defense was ranked dead last in run at 32nd and ranked 30th in scoring. Bill Parcells is bringing in his traditional 3-4 scheme and imported DT Jason Ferguson to plug up the middle. DE Philip Merling (2nd Round pick) will be a cornerstone on the a new front seven defenders. A more effective running offense this year will help keep the beleaguered Dolphins defense off the field.
NFL Betting Edge
Bill Parcells has a ball control philosophy that will be instituted by new head coach Tony Sparano. The emphasis on the running game behind a revitalized Ricky Williams will had the dog lines on Miami this year very attractive. Look for betting opportunities on the Road against week run defenses.
