Week 5: BYE
Week 6: @ Packers
Week 7: Steelers

Week 14: @ NY Jets

Analysis: Bill Parcells wants this to be a winning team, and it is getting close. Chad Henne keeps improving after taking over for Chad Pennington last year, and with a decent line and now the deep threat of Marshall, Henne may put up better stats this year. Ted Ginn Jr. is finally gone, so no more trying to prove he was worth the first round pick. If Ronnie Brown can stay healthy, with Ricky Williams still able to grind out some yards, the running game really helps. The Dolphins introduced the wildcat, and don’t think they will stop using that anytime soon. The defense is what may be hurting this year. Jason Ferguson will still be carrying the defensive line while Channing Crowder will have to step up in the absence of Joey Porter and Jason Taylor. Yeremiah Bell and Will and Jason Allen are getting better, but they need to produce fast if the Dolphins want to compete in the AFC East.

2010 Season Prediction: 7-9, Third in AFC East
