Jets at Dolphins picks and predictions
Prediction
Dolphins 20, Jets 16
Moneyline
The DOLPHINS (-170) seem to be the ideal choice in this game. However, there is a ton of uncertainty surrounding the quarterback position for the Fins, so proceed with caution when wagering on this game.
Against the spread
DOLPHINS -3 (-120) is where I’m leaning as Miami needs a win on Sunday to have a chance to advance to the postseason. Even with the Dolphins starting either Bridgewater or QB Skylar Thompson, they should be able to cover the spread at home.
The Dolphins are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games against an opponent in the AFC East. Meanwhile, the Jets are 1-4-1 ATS in their last 6 road meetings against the Dolphins and 2-7-1 ATS in their last 10 meetings overall.
Over/Under
Given the uncertainty at the quarterback spot for both teams, UNDER 37 (-110) is an intriguing wager. I expect both teams to try to maintain possession in this game by running the ball more often than usual.
The Jets are 6-0 to the Under in their last 6 games against an AFC opponent and 4-0 to the Under in their last 4 games overall. The Dolphins are also 6-1 to the Under in their last 7 home games.
