The Miami Dolphins had an up-and-down 2024 season. They regularly flipped between wildcard round contention and missing out on the playoffs entirely. Unfortunately for their fan base, the Mike McDaniel-led side stumbled to an 8-9 record and missed the playoffs in a stacked AFC. The Miami Dolphins are now entering 2025 with a point to prove.
So, Tua Tagovailoa, Tyreek Hill, and Co. will have quite the task in 2025. With the regular-season schedule out, let's explore it in detail using the Sportskeeda Playoff Predictor.

Miami Dolphins' predicted 2025 regular-season record
The Miami Dolphins will end the 2025 regular season with an 8-9 record, which will see them finish the campaign second in the AFC East behind the Buffalo Bills, according to the Sportskeeda Playoff Predictor. That means Mike McDaniel’s side will make a return to the postseason.
The prediction has the Dolphins facing the New England Patriots in the wildcard round. This matchup will give Tua Tagovailoa and Co. a decent shot at progressing to the later stages of the playoffs.
