Ryan Fitzpatrick, a former Dolphins player himself, isn’t pulling any punches for Miami’s 2026 season, predicting a brutal 0 wins. Yeah, you read that right: zero. It’s a shocking call for a team about to kick off its regular season.
The Wildest Range of Predictions You’ll See
This isn’t just one guy going rogue, though. Prognosticators are all over the map with their win totals for Miami. Sporting News is calling for 2 wins, while ESPN’s Mike Clay edges them slightly higher at 2.5. CBS Sports sees them getting to 3.5. Then you’ve got iHeart’s NFL Daily at 4 wins, The Athletic at 4.4, and a whole bunch of outlets like Kalshi, DraftKings, BetMGM, Hard Rock Bet, and ESPN all settling on 4.5 wins.
But it gets even crazier! Good Morning Football’s Peter Schrager and Locked On Dolphins’ Kyle Crabbs both peg them at 5 wins. And then, at the top end, 7 Oracles Predictions goes way out there with 6.57 wins, with Gridiron Edge right behind at 6.83. Seriously, that’s a massive spread for a team right before Week 1. They’re the NFL’s youngest team, apparently loaded with question marks at every single position, including the head coach, so maybe this wild range makes sense. Talk about growing pains!
My Take: Can Miami Actually Surprise?
I know I look at this team through aqua-and-orange-tinted glasses sometimes, but I truly think their offense has some real juice. That depth chart is a little scary, not gonna lie, and it feels like about a quarter of the roster just signed two weeks ago. Plus, with so many first- and second-year players, things are bound to look ugly sometimes, especially early on. But you can put me down for 6 wins. I see that as a solid first step in what could be a successful rebuild.
The 2026 regular season is basically here, and it’s gonna be wild to see how these predictions stack up. Will they truly hit rock bottom with zero wins, or surprise everyone with a decent rebuild step? We’ll know soon enough.
