Why the love for Miami?

First, I would be surprised if Mia finished better than 8-8 this year.

However, regardless of the weakness of their personnel, don't discount Nick Saban's abilility to get the most of the players that he has.

Any team, including ours, who take Mia lightly when playing them at home will have a very unhappy trip back. I don't think that BB will allow his team to take the Fins lightly.

Good Grief! Miami is a team FULL of question marks - not even their fans can deny that. Which Culpepper shows up next year? And if he's not ready, will Harrington really change from goat to good? Brown split the load evenly with Weedman last year, so no one knows how big Ronnie will respond to getting hammered 25-35x/game. The D is riddled with age and or inexperience. They beat Denver in the first game last year at home. OK, well, the first game is often a crap shoot for everyone, on top of the fact that the Broncos were a fraud (and yes, they beat us, AFTER we gave them the ball 5x). The one true quality win you have to hand the Fins in 2005 was beating Carolina (who did turn it over 3x) in the third game.

Outside of that, they beat the psycho Chargers which doesn't count, and us, when nothing mattered. Don't overlook that the Fins also lost to the Jets, Bills, Falcons and Browns - hardly the stuff of greening champions. They squeezed by the Bills by 1 point and the Jets by 4, both at home, during their big winning streak.
