Prediction
Dolphins 24, Jets 20
Moneyline (?)
The Dolphins (+190) are slight underdogs based on location and the Jets defense. Miami has won three of its last five games while averaging 24.6 points per contest. That is quite a jump over what they were doing at 0-7. New York has sputtered around and won only once within the AFC. Take MIAM (+190) to win outright.
New to sports betting? A $10 wager on the Dolphins to win returns a profit of $19 with a straight-up victory.
Against the Spread (?)
Picking the DOLPHINS (+5.5, -115) with the points is our play. The odds represent a good opportunity even if not as valuable as the moneyline. Miami will need to win or lose by five or fewer points or win outright. A $10 bet here results in a profit of $8.70.
Over/Under (?)
The projection of 44.5 points presents a dilemma as the two teams could come very close to that number Sunday. Our recommendation is to AVOID.
