DOLPHINS: Easy win or trap game?

I just think that the magnitude of this game disqualifies it as a potential
trap game.  Even with all the scenarios out there, it really comes down to
this- win the next 2 games and you're in, lose either and you're probably out.
 Like Sparano said, they are basically competing in playoff games already.

I really hope the Chiefs players have already packed it in, but somehow I
doubt it.
