3 HRS AGO - Photo by Peter G. Aiken/Getty Images Tonight features two Monday Night Football games due to the schedule Shuffling of the NFL in the past couple of weeks due to the Covid breakouts on various teams. Tonight’s early game features two of the better teams in the AFC. The defending Super Bowl Champion Kansas City Chiefs will travel to New York to take on the Buffalo Bills. Both squads are coming off their first loss of the season. The Chiefs dropped their game last week to the Las Vegas Raiders 40 to 32 while the Bills lost last week to the still undefeated, Ryan Tannehill led Tennessee Titans in a blowout 42 to 16. Looks like that Tannehill kid might be for real after all despite what you may have read from some Miami Dolphins fans. Both teams enter this week with fairly strong overall offensive numbers on the season with the Bills ranked 4th, putting up 425 yards per game and the Chiefs ranked 7th, putting up 412.8 yards per contest. The Chiefs, thus far rank in the top third of Collapse

7 HRS AGO - Allen Eyestone via Imagn Content Services, LLC Miami has the 10th-easiest strength of schedule with 10 games left in the 2020 season A general rule of thumb is to not get caught looking ahead on the NFL schedule — which is exactly what we’re going to do here. The banged up Miami Dolphins enter a much needed bye to rest and refuel, meaning this is the perfect time to eye some late-season projections. A 24-0 shutout over the New York Jets has Miami (3-3) on a two-game winning streak. The Dolphins will return to action with favorable schedule remaining, which starts at home against the Rams on Nov. 1. The Dolphins have the 10th-easiest remaining strength of schedule, according to Tankathon.com. The site lists the Jets, Chargers, Bengals, Broncos and Patriots as favorable matchups. Miami is currently the ninth seed in the AFC playoff picture and has the third-best point differential in the conference. The Dolphins could certainly remain in the hunt and push for a playoff spot, Collapse

14 HRS AGO - Photo by Michael Reaves/Getty Images Welcome to the Splash Zone, the quickest way to get your day started off right. We bring you a rundown of Miami Dolphins news from the last 24 hours. For the first time under Brian Flores, the Miami Dolphins are a .500 football team. The Dolphins shutout the Jets yesterday and we even got a glimpse of Tua Tagovailoa. It wasn’t in dominant fashion, but the team came away with a win in a game they were supposed to win in. The team gets a bye next week, before taking on the Los Angeles Rams on November 1st. You can check out that story here, and the rest of the day’s round-up below.

1 DAY AGO - Photo by Jim McIsaac/Getty Images Following the dismantling of the San Francisco 49ers last week by your Miami Dolphins we move on to facing the hated New York Jets this week. The schedule originally had us traveling to Denver, Colorado to take on the Denver Broncos this week but due to the shuffling of the schedule, due to certain other teams issues with Covid we now have a home game this week with our bye week moved up to next week. Under former Dolphins head coach Adam Gase the New York Jets remain winless to this point of the season. The Jets to this point have lost all five of their games by more than a single score with the closest game being separated by 10 points in week one against the Buffalo Bills. They have since followed that up with losses by 31 to 13 to the San Francisco 49ers, 36 to 7 to the Indianapolis Colts, 37 to 28 to the Denver Broncos and 30 to 10, last week to the Arizona Cardinals. Jets starting quarterback Sam Darnold will miss this weeks game and will Collapse

1 DAY AGO - Photo by Mike Stobe/Getty Images The Miami Dolphins host the New York Jets this afternoon in a Week 6 contest that was moved up from its original Week 10 scheduling. Miami was supposed to have two straight games against the Jets, with their bye week between the matchups, spanning the Week 10 through 12 portion of the schedule. Now, after the league shuffled the schedule when the New England Patriots began having positive coronavirus tests, Miami will have a chance to return to .500 on the season, then head into their new Week 7 bye week. The Jets come into this game struggling to find any sort of identity and with roster changes happening. The team released running back Le’Veon Bell this week, while they see Joe Flacco start at quarterback for the second-straight week after starter Sam Darnold sustained a shoulder injury. Head coach Adam Gase has his hands full, and it is looking more and more like he could be headed out the door as the Jets continue to flounder. What should we Collapse

1 DAY AGO - Photo by Paul Bereswill/Getty Images Last week’s game against the San Francisco 49ers was a surprise to most. I for one picked Miami to win but even I did not see a blowout in our future. The media, for their part, did not believe in this team at all with no one that I saw picking Miami to win the game. This week the script is flipped. The winless New York Jets will come to town to take on our Miami Dolphins and now everyone is picking Miami to win the game. So as usual, on the night before a game, the Phinsider Question Of The Day is what is your prediction for the score at the end of the game tomorrow, and why? As this is a nightly post also feel free to not only discuss the question/topic of the day but to use this as a live thread where the rules are pretty wide open and you can discuss nearly anything so long as your continue to follow the site rules.

2 DAYS AGO - Photo by Joel Auerbach/Getty Images The 2020 NFL regular season moves into Week 6 tomorrow, somehow pushing past the one-third mark of the year. The NFL season is just flying. Our group of The Phinsider contributors are back for another week of straight-up winners picks, selecting the victors from every game on the schedule. Some of the group will also make spread picks and over/under picks. You can check those out in the other tabs of the chart below. Last week, I finally looked like I was going to make up games on the leaders from the group, going 11-3 for the week (79 percent). Of course, James McKinney also went 11-3 so no closing the gap for me. Josh Houtz finished the week 10-3 (77 percent), while Kathleen Noa went 9-3 (75 percent). CT Smith and Justin Hier both were 9-5 (64 percent) on the week. For the season, that brings our standings to: James McKinney 53-23-1 (69%)Justin Hier / Kevin Nogle 51-25-1 (67%)CT Smith 50-26-1 (66%)Josh Houtz 47-25-1 (65%) Kat has missed a Collapse
