Miami Dolphins
Odds
Next game odds, playoff outlook, schedule and Super Bowl history.
Miami tore the thing down to the studs. Mike McDaniel is gone. Chris Grier is gone. Tua Tagovailoa is gone, released and eating a record dead cap. Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, gone too. What is left is a first-year head coach, a quarterback with six career starts, and a rebuild that everyone in the building admits is a rebuild.
That honesty matters. Nobody in Miami is selling a quick fix. Jeff Hafley arrived with a blank slate and a brief to build a foundation, not chase a wild card. The roster will probably get worse before it gets better, and the schedule does not do him any favors.
Lucky Rebel’s Editor Top Pick
De’Von Achane is the one weapon left worth the name. Everything hinges on whether Malik Willis can keep a defense honest enough to free him. Willis has started six NFL games. He is mobile, he is cheap next to what Tua cost, and he is a leap of faith. While he finds his feet, Achane is the floor and the ceiling both.

Dolphins to make the playoffs
| Market | Yes | No |
|---|---|---|
| Miami Dolphins to make the playoffs | +1000 | -4000 |
Our call: they miss it, comfortably. The market has Miami at +1000 to make the playoffs and -4000 to miss, about as close to a written-off team as the board gets. The reasons are plain. New quarterback, stripped-down skill group, first-year staff, and one of the league’s harder schedules. The win total opened in the four-to-five range for a reason. This is year zero in Miami, and the franchise has not won a playoff game since December 2000, the longest active drought of its kind in the league.
Miami starts over under Jeff Hafley
McDaniel was fired in January 2026 after going 35-33 in four seasons, and longtime general manager Chris Grier went with him. The Dolphins handed the rebuild to Jeff Hafley, a first-year NFL head coach who is not a stranger to winning. He ran one of the league’s best defenses as Green Bay’s coordinator in 2025, and he carries head coaching miles from his time at Boston College.
Hafley was handpicked by new general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan, who spent two seasons with him in Green Bay. The brief is clear. Build a defense, build a culture, build slowly. Nobody is pretending this is a one-year fix.
Bobby Slowik, Sean Duggan and the Green Bay thread
Bobby Slowik takes the offense as coordinator after a season as Miami’s senior pass game coordinator. He brings the Shanahan-style scheme he ran as the 49ers play-caller, built on motion, play-action and a strong run game. With this personnel, the scheme will have to do heavy lifting.
Sean Duggan runs the defense, another Hafley man from Green Bay. The Packers thread runs through the whole operation, Willis included. New voices, one shared language, and a defensive head coach who will set his stamp on that side of the ball first.
The Dolphins playing staff
The offense around Willis is thin. Hill and Waddle are gone, and De’Von Achane carries the load as the one established threat. Quinn Ewers backs up at quarterback. The talent will be added in layers, not in one offseason.
The defense is where Hafley starts, because that is what he does and because it is the faster path to respectability. For 2026, the job is simple. Compete, develop Willis, and find out what the new staff has.
