Sports Illustrated's NFL preview is in and they've picked the Dolphins as the AFC Champion. They say the Dolphins will win the AFC East with an 11-5 record, beating the Patriots on a tie breaker. No first round bye, though. They'll beat the Ravens, the Steelers and the Colts to get to the Super Bowl. Unfortunately, they'll lose to the Panthers. Check out their Dolphins preview, as well.
