Miami Dolphins

Inconsistency has plagued Ryan Tannehill ever since he came into the league in 2012. Even though it came against the New York Jets, the Dolphins got a huge win on Monday night last week and they had all the momentum in the world coming back to Miami to play the Baltimore Ravens, who are also trying to make the playoffs. The Dolphins started the game well, going up 10-0, but three second-half points costed Miami big-time and the Ravens ended up winning 28-13.

For their next three games, the Dolphins will go on the road to play the Patriots, a team they beat in Week 1. After that, they will return home to play the Minnesota Vikings and the Jets. While the Dolphins have an easier road than others, a loss against the Patriots will put them at 7-7 and unless every other team in the hunt loses, the Dolphins will be in real bad shape. 9-7 is possible, but the AFC will likely take 10 wins to get in the playoffs.
