The Miami Dolphins came off a win Saturday night against the Las Vegas Raiders led by heroics from Ryan Fitzpatrick and a crucial face-mask call late in the 4th quarter, which ultimately led to a game-winning field goal by kicker Jason Sanders.

As a result, the Dolphins are in a prime position to seal their playoff chances. This can happen a variety of ways. Miami's best bet would be a victory against their division rival, the Buffalo Bills Sunday. The Miami Dolphins have a good chance of getting a win since it is highly probable that the Bills will sit most of their starters since their playoff position is more or less certified.

With that said, if the Miami Dolphins cannot get a win against Buffalo, their path to the playoffs can happen in a variety of ways. The Baltimore Ravens would have to lose to the Cleveland Browns. The Ravens are highly favored to win this game at 74%, while they have a 26% chance to lose to the Bengals.

Another possibility is if the Cleveland Browns lose to the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Browns are also highly favored to win this game. This will be a home game for the Browns, so they are expected to win over the visiting Steelers at 74%.

The Tennessee Titans could also lose to the Houston Texans which would give the Miami Dolphins a playoff spot. However. the Titans are highly favored to win on the road against the Texans, who are 4-11, with a 78% chance of winning.

The last scenario would be an Indianapolis Colts loss against the Jacksonville Jaguars. This is highly unlikely as the Colts have an 84% chance of getting the win.

Reviewing these scenarios, it is abundantly clear that the game against the Buffalo Bills is a must-win for the Miami Dolphins. The Dolphins cannot afford to leave their playoff destiny to chance and in the hands of others.

It is safe to assume the Miami Dolphins will lay it all on the field Sunday in their season closer.
