Only the division winner will make the playoffs. Flip a coin: I'll take the team playing the best defense: Miami. Incredible. Miami with a home playoff game." -SI.com</p> <p>After Sundays win in Toronto I am actually very hopeful that we will see our Miami Dolphins in the playoffs.&nbsp; I read an article recently at SportsIllustrate.com which had the quote which I pasted above.&nbsp;</p> <p>I completely agree that two teams are going to be heartbroken come the end of regular season; and I am praying that it is the Jets and Pats.</p> http://www.thephinsider.com/2008/12/3/679276/statistics-on-the-phins-ch BeaNXIII Thu, 04 Dec 2008 02:04:51 -0000 <p>Hey Phin Fans,</p> <p>My best friend, a Cowboys fan, is pretty good with computers and made a program to simulate the odds of NFL teams chances to make the playoffs.&nbsp; I thought the simulation was pretty interesting (and watched him work on it), and he posted it over at Bloggintheboys.com.&nbsp; So I asked him is I could take it over to us Phin Fans and he said sure.&nbsp; Ask me any questions, and I will redirect them back to him because he is the expert:</p> <p>Below are the chances that each team will make the playoffs this year...this is update after week 13:</p> <p class="extend-divide"><img src="http://assets1.sbnation.com/images/blog/star-divide.jpg.v5547" alt="Star-divide" /></p> <h2>Playoff Chances</h2> <p>NFC EAST<br />Cowboys<br />Overall chance to make the playoffs&nbsp;
