Broncos @ Texans
You might be asking yourself, how in the world does this game impact Miami? It really doesn't BUT I would much rather play the Texans in the first round of the playoffs instead of the Broncos. The idea of playing a surging team that you dropped 70 on just doesn't sound like a good idea to me. Can't be taking that bad juju in the playoffs.
Chargers @ Patriots
For the laughs of the Chargers losing to the Patriots and the Patriots ruining their draft position we can root for the Patriots this week. Man what a fun time this is where the Patriots are awful.
Bengals @ Jaguars (MNF)
I have to be honest, I don't have high hopes for this one at all but man would a Bengals win be nice for Miami. Jacksonville has a really soft schedule the rest of the way outside of @ Cleveland and vs Baltimore. I have said this before but I think that if Miami isn't the 1 seed, being the 2 or 3 seed with Jacksonville being the 2 or 3 seed is ideal for Miami to stay in Florida for the first two rounds of the playoffs, I would just prefer Miami to be the higher seed.
Chiefs @ Packers
The Packers are getting hot at the right time and Miami could definitely use a Chiefs loss in their quest to get the number 1 seed. Similarly to Jacksonville, the Chiefs schedule is pretty easy going forward with their only "challenging" games being this game against a surging Packers team, and next week against Buffalo. The Chiefs still have to play the Patriots, Raiders, Bengals, Chargers but we would need a major upset in the stretch to help Miami.
Dolphins @ Commanders
Miami heads to the nations capital this Sunday to take on the Commanders! Our game preview will be out on Thursday!
