#1 Posted: 7/4/2012 3:34:27 PM 2 - vs Oakland 3 - vs Jets 4 - @ Arizona 5 - @ Cincy 6 - vs Rams 7 - bye 8 - @ Jets 9 - @ Colts 10 - vs Titans 11 - @ Buffalo 12 - vs Seattle 13 - vs Patriots 14 - @ SF 15 - vs Jags 16 - vs Bills 17 - @ NE
Rate this from 1-10, 1 being the easiest.
I'd give it a 3 or a 4.  |

but what else is ther to discuss in july so i would say the first half is pretty tough. i think houston is the best team in the league, oakland could go either way this season but they bat a lot better teams than miami at home last year, the jets are always a tough division game, i'm not sure arizona is worse than miami and cincy should be solid and won every game they should have at home last season.
as for the second half, the colts should be terrible but how much will miami be favored on the road, the titans could go either way as a team, buffalo could easily be better than miami, seattle at home in the heat is a good game for miami, at san francisco looks like a terrible spot after NE at home, th jags at home should be easy, and then they finish with two tough division games.
my opinion is this is a tough schedule, but not terrible. however, miami will struggle with it.

i forgot about the rams. i expect the rams to be much better this season. of course, having the rams at home looks like a good slot right now, but we'll see how the rams are.
on a 1-10, i'd rate the schedule a 6 because i rate houston, st. louis, seattle, san francisco and the jets better than most people.

True and false.
Last year, Miami had a point in their schedule where they played KC, Washington, Buffalo, Dallas, Oakland. I knew going into the season if Miami had a 500 record, they would have a chance to make the playoffs solely off this easy 5 week period. Too bad they were 0-7 when this stretch started. They went 4-1, and the only loss being to Dallas by 1 point.
This year, they have a similar 6 game stretch of all teams where they have a good chance to pick up a lot of wins. Stl, jets, colts, titans, bills, seahawks..and they also play Jacksonville 2 weeks later.
Miami's schedule may not be easy, but compared to other NFL Teams it is. Just look at any random teams schedule and most likely by week 17, you will be surprised at all the good teams they play. I also expect the Bills to be solid this year, but Miami was 2-0 against them last year, so please no one respond by saying Buffalo is a team that will destroy Miami. I see them going 7-9..9-7 if things click.

as for that 6 game stretch, i think seattle, st. louis, the jets the bills and the titans could all be playoff team,s this season. but it's always nice to have seattle at home and the colts and jacksonville on the schedule anywhere.

I would be SHOCKED if two teams from the NFC West make the playoffs. NFC is much too stacked for that to happen imo. |

That is BOLD, esp. two from the NFC West.  |

don't sleep on the rams this season, they'll be undervalued and make you some money in the first half.

but of the group you listed, i think we'll see declines with green bay, new orleans, philly, new york, atlanta, dallas and detroit. i say at least 4 of them don't make the playoffs.

patriots vs divison buff miamij Jets they were 18-36 SU last season
3 out of divison games this year St louis INDY Jacksonville these teams went 9-39
so in 9 of the patriots games this year their opponets were 27-75 SU LAST YEAR
THIS IS A JOKE OF A LEAGUE ITS A STINKFEST
if it wasnt for gambling and fantasy football there would be little interest . |

think the defense will be pretty solid , but might be left on the field to long with the offense struggling bc of QB play |

Their defense and run game should be solid, but its obvious where the question mark is. For some reason I am optimistic about the Garrard to Ochocinko connection
My bold prediction for the Dolphins this year is 8-8, and Daniel Thomas becomes more of a viable fantasy option than Reggie Bush. |
