My Comments:

The Dolphins open their regular season with Indianapolis at home and close at home on Monday night against the Patriots. In between, they must go to Green Bay and to Oakland, which will probably be the two toughest games they play - outside of the division, of course.

Overall, the schedule isn't too bad. There aren't really any pushovers on the schedule, but then again, there aren't any pushovers in the league.

It promises to be an exciting year.
