The Jets failed against the New England Patriots last week. The Bills failed against the Patriots before that. Two division rivals that had their way with the Miami Dolphins met their match against the defending Super Bowl champions.
So what makes you think the Dolphins will do the improbable?
Oh, yeah, sports.
It isn't played within the reaches of what is likely. Indeed, it is what is improbable and unlikely happening time and again that makes sports so great. And that's why the Dolphins think something big is about to happen.
"We're going to shock the world, man, you watch," one Dolphins player told me in confidence on Monday.
