It was pretty much known that the Miami Dolphins were going to be terrible in 2019. No one knew they would be this bad.
The Miami Dolphins have been outscored 102-10 in the first two games after getting smacked around at Hard Rock Stadium by the Baltimore Ravens and New England Patriots.
Now, the team prepares to face the Dallas Cowboys, who have scored at least 30 points in each of their first two games against bad teams.
The Dolphins are worse than the Giants and Redskins and that’s saying something.
The historically bad Miami Dolphins are nearly historic underdogs this week against the Dallas Cowboys. According to Ryan Hannable of WEEI, the Cowboys have opened as a 21-point favorite at home against the Dolphins.
That spread is only 2nd to the 2013 regular season game between the Denver Broncos and the Jacksonville Jaguars, where Peyton Manning and his 5-0 squad were a 26.5-point home favorite against the 0-5 Jaguars.
Broncos failed to cover.

That is what the current line is, but it could get bigger as there’s already been a lot of MOVEMENT (gambling term) after the line opened at 16.5.
The only other game with a 20-point spread was a 2011 match-up between the favored New England Patriots and Indianapolis Colts where the Pats were a 20.5-point favorite, but much like the Broncos, they failed to cover.
It’s hard to tell what’s worse for the Dolphins, their offense or defense. They’ve only scored 10 points on the season, but the defense has given up an average of 51 points per game to start the season.
That defense is only slated to get worse after they traded defensive back Minkah Fitzpatrick to the Pittsburgh Steeelers.
The franchise is clearly trying to tank in order to get a top pick and a quarterback that can change the future of the team.
