Despite boasting two Super Bowl wins, one of which capped off the NFL’s only-every perfect season, the Miami Dolphins are widely thought to be the worst team in the league.

But as all experienced sports gamblers know, even losing teams offer interesting betting opportunities if you know where to look.

With a new head coach and a new QB, fans of the Miami Dolphins are hopeful that the franchise can silence the critics and post a winning season that may even take the team into the postseason.

In this team guide to the Miami Dolphins, we’ll take a close look at how the team stacks up in the AFC East.

Miami Dolphins Team History

Miami Dolphins

The Miami Dolphins played its first game in 1966. They’ve won two Super Bowls, five conference championships, 13 division titles, and made 23 playoff appearances. Originally part of the American Football League, the Dolphins were originally founded by politician and attorney Joe Robbie and actor-comedian Danny Thomas.

The team made it to Super Bowl VI in 1972 but got blown away by the Dallas Cowboys 24-3. The following season the Dolphins became the only franchise in NFL history to have a perfect season, going 17-0 and winning their first of two consecutive Super Bowls.

Despite riding another wave of success in the 1980s, the Dolphins have fallen on tough times recently and have only qualified for the playoffs once since 2008. The most recognizable names in franchise history include Dan Marino, Larry Csonka, Jason Taylor, and Don Shula.
