As we all anticipate the start of the 2008 NFL season lets take a look the AFC East NFL Betting Odds and the Miami Dolphins, Miami was 1-15 last year so they are going improve on there record but I don't think Parcells is going to get this team to the playoffs this year.  They have issues at quarterback and until some one steps up it will always be a probably. This is a rebuilding year for them.  In 2008 the Dolphin fans can just expect about 5 or 6 wins.

Bill Parcells has done it four times before.  Can he do it again?  Last season Miami went 1-15 on the season and needed overtime score to keep them from going winless.  Parcells has turned around four other teams to make the playoffs in the past and he is going to try to do it again with Miami in 2008.  They need to improve at quarterback and until then they really have no shot at winning the division or even making the playoffs.  The AFC East NFL Betting Odds at Sportsbetting.com currently have the Miami Dolphins 20/1 to win the AFC East division.

Miami has 3 quarterbacks fighting for the starting job this year, Josh McCown, John Beck and rookie Chad Henne.  McCown is veteran insurance in case the young QB's aren't ready to lead.  McCown has had mixed results in his 31 career starts with Arizona and Oakland.  He is basically a short term fix at quarterback.  For Beck it is his job to lose, with Miami drafting and making trades for some offensive lineman this should help him relax in the pocket and cure those fumbles he had last year.  Henne is out of Michigan, Parcells thinks he could be the quarterback of the future for the team and really high on him.  He was drafted in the second round.  He was a four year starter at Michigan and had nine comeback wins, but again there rivals Ohio State he was 0-4 in the big game.  The problem for him is he shows penchant for mistakes in big games, and now he is on the next level the NFL.  The AFC East NFL Betting Odds at Sportsbetting.com set the line for Miami Dolphins for NFL total wins for the season at 5.5 -135.

Offensive lineman Jake Long was number one pick for Miami this year and already they signed him to a big contract.  The Michigan left tackle was signed to a five year NFL contract worth $30 million guaranteed.  Long's total contract package is worth $57.75 million.  This NFL contract will make Jake Long the highest paid offensive lineman in the NFL.  The last time an NFL offensive lineman was taken #1 in the draft was back in 1997 when Orlando Pace was drafted by the St. Louis Rams.  He made the Pro Bowl seven consecutive times after joining the Rams.  This will end a revolving door at tackle and helps start rebuild the offensive line.
