If you’re looking at the Miami Dolphins just getting into the playoffs, no matter how it happens, view the rest of the season as a race to 10 wins.
Get to 10 wins, meaning the Dolphins (8-5) win two of their last four regular-season games, and you’re probably in. It’s not guaranteed, but from where we are now, and in most realistic scenarios, the Dolphins are probably in if they win the right games, meaning beating two of the remaining three AFC East opponents.
If you want to dream bigger, and pretty much assure a spot in the playoffs (again, there are no guarantees), well, the rest of the season is a race to 11 wins.
