Dolphins Week 16 rooting guide
The Miami Dolphins will spend their Sunday battling the Dallas Cowboys, a team that, like the Dolphins, hasn’t had much success against winning teams but is near the top of the conference.
With a 10-4 record entering Week 16, the Dolphins have a lead in the AFC East and are second in the conference. Other teams will also take the field this weekend, Saturday and Sunday, which will impact Miami’s playoff odds and scenarios with less than a quarter of the season remaining.
Below is our rooting guide for this weekend’s slate of games while the Dolphins take on the Cowboys at 4:25 p.m. ET on Sunday.
Steelers over Bengals
A division battle with the third and fourth-place teams could only impact the wild-card standings. A loss for the Bengals would drop them to 8-7 and lower the threshold for those final spots.
Chargers over Bills
This may be asking for a lot, but if the Dolphins win and the Bills lose, Miami would win the AFC East for the first time since 2008.
Falcons over Colts
The Colts currently hold the seventh seed with the same record as the Bengals. As mentioned for that game, a loss would give the Dolphins the best chance at the top wild-card seed if things were to go horribly wrong in these last three weeks.
Texans over Browns
The Browns have the top wild-card spot while the Texans are just on the outside looking in. A victory for Houston would have two teams in the playoffs with nine wins at the moment. The Dolphins don’t want that first wild-card team to have 10 wins just yet.
Raiders over Chiefs
A Chiefs loss would protect the Dolphins from falling into the third seed if they were to lose to the Cowboys this week.
49ers over Ravens
At the moment, Baltimore holds the top seed in the AFC, and they’re the only team in the conference to punch their ticket to the playoffs. A loss and Dolphins win, would put them in a tie for the top seed again.

The Miami Dolphins may be without wide receiver Jaylen Waddle for a while, potentially into the postseason. Head coach Mike McDaniel says Waddle's shin injury suffered on Sunday is "looking more like a high ankle" injury.
McDaniel added that "those [type of injuries] can be tricky." Further testing will be done to evaluate the severity of the injury and how much time, if any, Waddle will miss.
Waddle exited Miami's victory against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday in the third quarter. He appeared to suffer the injury as he was tackled and had to work with the training staff, eventually going to the locker room.
Before exiting the game, he had one reception for 50 yards. The Dolphins went on to win 22-20 to improve to 11-4.
Miami is set to face the Baltimore Ravens next week as the two teams fight it out for the top seed in the AFC. The Dolphins and Ravens have both clinched a playoff spot, with Miami currently at No. 2 and Baltimore currently at No. 1, but home-field advantage and a first-round bye is still up for grabs.
The Fins will have another big game in Week 18, when they face the Buffalo Bills in what could be for the AFC East crown.
Not having Waddle for one or both of these games would be a major setback for the Dolphins offense. This season, Waddle has 1,014 yards on 72 receptions, for an average of 14.1 yards per catch, along with four touchdowns.

Dolphins are 20-5 at home when Tua starts. That includes his first two years with that moron Flores
finheaven.com
Interesting Tua stat
Tua is 20-5 at home in his career, the best home win percentage (.800) by any active NFL QB.

FYI, last year when this game was played, the Ravens were hurting pretty bad in their secondary.
That said, I hope Tua lights them up again.
Dolphins at Baltimore will be televised in both Tampa and Orlando
