2022 Super Bowl Path: Miami Dolphins Future Betting Odds

Will Key Offensive Additions Make the Miami Dolphins a Super Bowl Contender?

The Addition of Tyreek Hill Should Pay Immediate Dividends for the Dolphins

After falling just short of making the playoffs a season ago, the Miami Dolphins made some changes. First, Miami made the surprising move of firing head coach Brian Flores and hiring  Mike McDaniel. Then Miami traded five draft picks, including a pair of first-round selections to acquire receiver Tyreek Hill from Kansas City. Running back Sony Michel and offensive linemen Terron Armstead and Connor Williams were also brought in during the offseason.

After having five first-round picks in the previous two drafts, the Dolphins didn’t make their first selection until Georgia linebacker Channing Tindall was taken with pick No. 102.

While Buffalo is currently the Super Bowl favorite, Miami is tied with New England for the second-best odds in the AFC East Division behind the Bills.

The Dolphins’ flirtation with record-setting quarterback Tom Brady as well as former New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton proved to be costly as the NFL stripped the Dolphins of their first-round pick in 2023 as well as a third-round selection in the 2024 draft. That won’t impact how things play out in 2022 but could prove costly down the road when looking at Miami Dolphins future betting odds.

With the offseason moves made by the Dolphins, don’t expect Miami to finish 25th in the NFL in total offense this season as was the case during the 2021 campaign.

Will Tua Time result in a Postseason Appearance for Miami?

  • Passing Yards: 3900.5
  • Touchdowns: 25.5
  • Interceptions: 12.5

Nobody can accuse Miami of failing to provide Tagovailoa quality receiving options. After trading up in the 2021 draft to select former Alabama receiver Jaylen Waddle, the Dolphins sent a package of NFL draft picks to Kansas City to acquire the speedy Tyreek Hill. Add in tight end Mike Gesicki and there should be no reason why Miami shouldn’t have one of the better passing teams in the NFL. It doesn’t hurt that the Dolphins went out and signed offensive tackle Terron Armstead away from the New Orleans Saints as well.

Tagovailoa finished in between Davis Mills and Sam Darnold in passing yards during the 2021 season. Tua missing four games didn’t help his final numbers. He finished with less than 200 passing yards a total of five times in 13 games a season ago. If that happens again, it might be time for Miami to go back on the market for a starting quarterback.

When looking at the 2021 Miami Dolphins stats, Maimi finished ahead of only two teams in rushing offense a season ago. It is only fair to wonder if more emphasis will be placed on the running game after revamping the running back position. That could impact how much Tagovailoa gets to throw the ball this season. It is just one of the things to ponder when considering the Miami Dolphins future betting odds.

Hill is Ready to Light it Up in The Sunshine State

Perhaps the decision for the Kansas City Chiefs to move on from Tyreek Hill shouldn’t have come as that much of a shock. With quarterback Patrick Mahomes and tight end Travis Kelce already there, how much salary can Kansas City be expected to devote to the offensive skill positions?

The Chiefs’ loss should be the Dolphins’ gain as Hill gives Miami one of the most feared players in the game. Much like the divorce between quarterback Aaron Rodgers and receiver Davante Adams in Green Bay, the question that begs to be answered when there is an elite quarterback and receiver on the same team is which of them is responsible for the success of the other?

How long Will it take Hill to Get Rolling With the Dolphins?

  • Receptions: 81.5
  • Receiving Yards: 1025.5
  • Receiving Touchdowns: 7.5 (-130o)

It is hard to believe somebody as dynamic as Hill would be limited to 11.2 yards per reception; however, issues with the offensive line in Kansas City led to Hill getting the ball on quick-hitting plays.

Time will tell how Hill is utilized in the Miami offense, but there is a reason why the Dolphins gave up so much to get him and it was not to get him the ball on gloried running plays. It might take a week or two into the season for those who look for trends in the NFL future odds to be a sense of how Hill will be utilized in Miami.

Even if he doesn’t catch passes 30-40 yards down the field, the threat of him going the distance is something that Dolphins offensive coaches figure to put to good use. The four-time 1,000-yard receiver averaged 15.8 and 17 yards per catch during the 2017 and 2018 campaigns. Dolphins fans would love to see Hill approach those numbers yet again.

Waddle Looks to Build on Impressive Rookie Season

  • Receptions: 86.5
  • Receiving Yards: 925.5
  • Receiving Touchdowns: 6.5 (+115o)

If not for the incredible season enjoyed by NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year Ja’Marr Chase of the Cincinnati Bengals, the fact that Waddle finished with 104 catches and caught 74% of the passes coming his way would have gotten more attention.

The next step for Waddle is to become more of a vertical threat. When Waddle was a teammate with Tagovailoa in Alabama in 2019, he averaged 17 yards per reception. Nobody is expecting him to match that mark during the 2022 season. However, his 9.8 yards per catch mark should increase now that Hill is around to occupy multiple defenders.

What Will Gesicki’s Role be Moving Forward?

  • Receptions: 55.5
  • Receiving Yards: 600.5
  • Receiving Touchdowns: 4.5 (+100o)

Gesicki made a jump from catching 51 and 53 passes during the 2019 and 2020 seasons to pulling down 73 receptions a season ago. With more mouths to feed in the Miami offense, will Gesicki’s numbers take a hit, especially if Waddle continues to be a safety valve for Tagovailoa?

Miami was 5-7 when Gesicki was targeted at least six times during the 2021 season so his individual success didn’t always translate into wins for his team. Having a pass-catching tight end playing in an offense with Hill worked out pretty well for Travis Kelce in Kansas City. Gesicki won’t be putting up Kelce-like numbers in this offense, but he shouldn’t become an overthought either.
