Things are a bit rocky in South Beach but with a new head coach maybe the Dolphins can finally make strides again in the now competitive AFC East.
The Dolphins are in the midst of some dark times. Not since the Dave Wannstedt era (2000-2004) have the Dolphins a.) had a head coach with a higher win percentage or b.) had a coach survive more than three seasons. And it should be noted that Wannstedt, didnt even finish the 2004 season. A clear problem with Dolphins? Stability with the head coach and the quarterback. Since Dan Marino, retired its pretty fair to say that Dolphins have had a horrible run at quarterback. Whether its been Jay Fiedler or Ray Lucas or Brian Griese or Daunte Culpepper, there has been stability.

Home team have finally started playing good, attractive and the most important, effective football. Marseille is on four games winning streak and actually in last eight games they have a 7-1-0 record with a goal difference 21:5, making them for sure the most inform team in France right now. They are currently on 7th position, but with such a great form they surely must be looking after the third position, at least, which would give them Champions League participation next season. Hosts will be without defensive midfielder Kabore, just as brothers Ayew, who all left for Copa Africa, while striker Gignac is out with a injury till February.

Northern Illinois Huskies (6-3) vs. Bowling Green Green Falcons (4-5) , :00 PM ET at Perry Stadium.
Northern Illinois is coming off a huge 63-60 win at Toledo last Tuesday. The Huskies improved to 4- in the MAC West Division and to me theyre the best team in the conference. I dont see them squandering this opportunity, they will carry their momentum into their game against Bowling Green.
Northern Illinois has won their last four games and they have scored 3 or more points in six straight games. Bowling Green on the other hand is -4 in their last five games, scoring or less points in all five contests. The Green Falcons do not have the offensive firepower to keep up with the Huskies in this game.
The Huskies average 4.
