I posed another Miami Dolphins predictions question to Twitter yesterday, asking what defensive end Cameron Wake's season sacks total will be in 2013. Here is a look at the responses:
@thephinsider @Kold91 how many? At least 17!

@thephinsider @Kold91- 13 hopefully Jordan will steal a few from him this year! #GoFins

@oneleggedphin72 @thephinsider @Kold91 I see 15+ and I also throw in 2 INT's, 1 for TD.

@thephinsider @Kold91 at least one more than the NFL single season record!

@SmthingaboutFB @thephinsider @Kold91 I'd say 20 is realistic

@thephinsider @Kold91 17-18.5

@thephinsider @Kold91 at LEAST 18 sacks!

@thephinsider @Kold91 I'm thinking around 10-12. Teams will pile people in front of him & make Vernon & Jordan beat the path to the QB.

The Phinsider prediction, given all of the above answers, averages out to 17.75 sacks, so we will call that 18 sacks. A season total of 18 sacks would have given Wake the fourth highest total in 2012 - which is actually exactly where he finished with 15 sacks. The sack leader from 2012 was J.J. Watt with 20.5.
