With odds over -300 last week, the Dolphins are now 2.5-point home underdogs on Sunday.

Other sportsbooks are in agreement on the 'Fins, with the odds at FanDuel Sportsbook giving Miami a 43.1% chance to win the AFC East, using implied probability at +132 odds, dropping nearly 30% from last week. Meanwhile, at +1400 odds, Miami has a 14.3% chance of reaching the Super Bowl. Miami has not played in the Super Bowl since the 1984 season -- Dan Marino's second year in the league.

The Dolphins didn't get their usual touchdown from Tyreek Hill  in Week 18, losing by over 30 points on the road in Baltimore. In addition, the Dolphins lost two defensive stars to injury in cornerback Xavien Howard and pass rusher Bradley Chubb.

Dolphins 2024 Super Bowl Outlook and Predictions

Following the loss, Miami's Super Bowl Odds shrunk by a large margin. Why? Because a 30-point loss to the conference's top-seeded team, along with a loss at Buffalo earlier in the season, tells oddsmakers the Dolphins aren't built for a SB LVIII run.

Entering the final week of the season, Miami has a historic matchup with the Bills to determine the AFC East champion in primetime on Sunday Night Football. Heading into the weekend, the Dolphins are 2.5-point underdogs according to most sportsbooks. This comes a week after Mike McDaniel's team shot to the third-shortest Super Bowl odds after a triumphant home win over Dallas.

For many reasons, the Dolphins are being doubted entering the postseason. But a win on Sunday would add another hill to the roller coaster that is the Dolphins' 2024 Super Bowl odds.

Where Can I Bet on the Miami Dolphins to Win the Super Bowl?

With positive legal results in the past few months, the Seminole Tribe felt comfortable enough to re-launch Hard Rock Bet in Florida on Nov. 7. It is now available to everyone. Sports betting is also now legal in six Seminole-owned casinos.

Having one app dominate Florida online sports betting isn't ideal, but that is why we've seen other gaming operators take the issue to the courts in an attempt to question the legality of the compact between the Seminole Tribe and the state of Florida. Flagler Associates' recent legal move, asking the court to immediately suspend the app until the case is fully resolved, was struck down. It has been given an extension until February to file a U.S. Supreme Court petition that would require a 60% referendum to legalize sports betting in the Sunshine State.

Dolphins Super Bowl History

The Miami Dolphins, historically, are no stranger to the Super Bowl. Miami was the first AFC team to appear in five Super Bowls and the conference's first team to appear in consecutive Super Bowls. Unfortunately, all of Miami's Super Bowl appearances came in its first 20 years as a franchise.

In their sixth year of existence, the Dolphins reached the Super Bowl for the first time. After falling to the Dallas Cowboys in Super Bowl VI, Miami bounced back to win the next two Super Bowls. That was highlighted by the NFL's first and only perfect season in 1972. The Dolphins ultimately played in a pair of Super Bowls over a three-year stretch during the early 1980s, but both resulted in losses. Miami has not won appeared in the Super Bowl since the 1984 season—Dan Marino's second in the league.

Have the Dolphins Ever Won the Super Bowl?

Yes, the Miami Dolphins are two-time Super Bowl champions. The Dolphins won back-to-back Super Bowls in 1972 and 1973.

The 1972 team famously completed the first and still only perfect season in NFL history. Miami capped the year with a 14-7 win over the then-Washington Redskins in Super Bowl VII at the Los Angeles Coliseum. The Dolphins' "No Name Defense" dominated the contest. Safety Jake Scott recorded two interceptions and was named the game's Most Valuable Player. The Dolphins took a shutout into the final quarter before an infamous gaffe by Miami kicker Garo Yepremian allowed Washington's Mike Bass to score a touchdown. Bass' score broke up the shutout, but couldn't stop perfection.

With a 24-7 win over the Minnesota Vikings in Super Bowl VIII in Houston, the Dolphins joined the Green Bay Packers as the only repeat winners at the time. In a dominating effort, the Dolphins racked up nearly 200 yards rushing. MVP Larry Csonka led the way with a then-Super Bowl record 145 yards rushing and two touchdowns. For the second year in a row, Miami took a shutout into the fourth quarter.

How Many Super Bowls Have the Miami Dolphins Won?

The Miami Dolphins have won two Super Bowls. Miami won Super Bowls VII and VIII. Among AFC teams, that is tied for the sixth-most with the Baltimore Ravens and Indianapolis Colts.

Which Years Did the Dolphins Go to the Super Bowl?

The Miami Dolphins have appeared in the Super Bowl five times (1971, 1972, 1973, 1982, 1984).

For the Miami Dolphins, trips to the Super Bowl seem like ancient history. The Dolphins are approaching four decades without a Super Bowl appearance. Founded in 1966, the Dolphins suffered through four losing seasons to begin their franchise, but that changed in 1970 with the hiring of head coach Don Shula.

After leading the Dolphins to their first playoff appearance in 1970, Shula took Miami to the Super Bowl in his second year. Against the Dallas Cowboys in Super Bowl VI, however, Miami became the first team in Super Bowl history to be held without a touchdown in a 24-3 loss. They were the only team until the 2018 season when the Los Angeles Rams were defeated by the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LIII by a 13-3 score.

Miami bounced back from their first Super Bowl loss with back-to-back victories on Super Sunday. The Dolphins capped the first perfect season in NFL history with a 14-7 victory over the then-Washington Redskins in Super Bowl VII. Safety Jake Scott picked off two passes, including one in the end zone, to earn MVP honors. In Super Bowl VIII a year later, fullback Larry Csonka put on a show in a 24-7 win over the Minnesota Vikings, rushing for 145 yards and two touchdowns -- Super Bowl records at the time.

The Dolphins would go another nine years without a Super Bowl appearance, but returned during the 1982 season. Against the then-Washington Redskins in Super Bowl XVII, Fulton Walker made history for Miami with the first kickoff return for a touchdown in Super Bowl history. Unfortunately for the Dolphins, the "Killer B" defense had no answer for Washington's John Riggins, who rushed for 166 yards and a touchdown in a 27-17 Washington victory.

Miami's last Super Bowl appearance came in Super Bowl XIX as league MVP Dan Marino led the Dolphins against the San Francisco 49ers in Palo Alto. Marino eclipsed the 300-yard passing mark, but was intercepted twice. On the other side, 49ers quarterback and game MVP Joe Montana put on a show with 390 total yards and four total touchdowns in a 38-16 San Francisco rout.

How Many Times Have the Dolphins Been to the AFC Championship Game?

The Miami Dolphins have appeared in the AFC Championship Game seven times, boasting a 5-2 record. Miami, however, has not played in the conference title game since the 1992-93 season when it lost to the Buffalo Bills at home, 29-10. The Dolphins won their first five appearances in the AFC title game, beginning with a 21-0 victory over the Baltimore Colts during the 1971-72 season. Miami intercepted Johnny Unitas three times, which included a 62-yard return for a touchdown by safety Dick Anderson.

During the 1972-73 season, Miami was forced to rally in the AFC conference game to keep its perfect season alive, but did so behind two second-half touchdown runs from Jim Kiick in a 21-17 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers at Three Rivers Stadium. Miami was sparked by a quarterback change as Bob Griese replaced Earl Morrall and by a successful fake punt from Larry Seiple.

The following year, the Dolphins clinched their third straight Super Bowl appearance with a 27-10 win over the then-Oakland Raiders. Larry Csonka rushed for 117 yards and three touchdowns in the victory. The first AFC Championship loss for Miami came during the 1985-86 season as the Dolphins were stunned at home by the New England Patriots, 31-14. New England would go on to lose in Super Bowl XX to a Chicago Bears team whose only loss came on a Monday night in December to the Dolphins.
