Today and tomorrow mark the final weekend in the 2022 National Football League regular season. The number of games each team plays has increased this year from 16 to 17...unless you've experienced a tie game (like Pittsburgh) there will be no more 8-8 seasons: either you're a winner or a loser. And that's how the roller-coaster Miami Dolphins stand, at 8-8 with a home game against New England Sunday afternoon. After beating the Patriots in the season opener, Miami then proceeded to lose 7 straight games...and then abruptly turned around and won 7 straight, putting them at 8-7 and right in the middle of playoff contention. Then last week they went to Tennessee and completely folded against the Titans, 34-3...eliminating them from playoff contention. So their contest against the Pats will be to salvage a winning season, which I think they're very capable of accomplishing as long as they decide to show up for the game. Most of the rest of the games this weekend figure into the playoff scenario, with the AFC wild card slots up for grabs among several teams while the NFC has San Francisco and Philadelphia vying for the final spot. Although I'm working this afternoon and evening and will miss the Kansas City-Denver and Dallas-Philadelphia games, I plan on enjoying the league's final Sunday of regular season play...
