Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel claims that his 4-year-old daughter, Alya, predicted every single game outcome of his team's games this season, including all six losses.

"My daughter is 4, she tells me exactly how it is," McDaniel told a referee while mic'd up during his team's November 17 win the Las Vegas Raiders, which she apparently predicted correctly. "We're 3-6 and she's told me, correctly, every game, if we're going to win or lose. So she told me to my face, before the game, on numerous occasions that I was going to lose.

"And I was like: 'All right Alya, wait and see... oh you're right'" But she said we're going to win today, so..."

The Dolphins lost three of their first four games and six of their first eight before their current three-game winning streak, which includes a 24-15 road win against the Los Angeles Rams, a 34-19 win against the Raiders and a 34-15 win against the New England Patriots. Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa miss four games after suffering a concussion during the Dolphins' Week 2 Thursday Night Football loss to the AFC East Division rival Buffalo Bills, but has since gone 3-2 in five starts.

Miami is currently eighth in the AFC playoff picture, trailing the Bills for the AFC East Division lead by four games.
