The Week 3 schedule for the 2016 NFL second starts today, which means we need to know for which teams to root to give the Miami Dolphins the best week possible. As with the last two weeks, we are not yet far enough into the season in order for real playoff standings or tiebreakers to come into play. That means, we are trying to project who might be the better AFC teams, who could win divisions and who would be in Wildcard contention, and how wins now may help Miami 15 weeks down the road.
The basic rule for our rooting guide at this point is to root for an NFC team over an AFC team, root for AFC East teams to lose, and for the Dolphins to win.
