Dolphins @ Jets

What will be the GAME RESULT?

Dolphins: Win By Double Digits

@ Jets: Win or Single Digit Loss

 

Current odds:

Miami Dolphins: (-330)

New York Jets: (+270)

 

• The line for this game is Dolphins by 7 points.

• Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa (left thumb) was downgraded Saturday to doubtful, meaning it’s likely veteran Ryan Fitzpatrick will make his first start since last month when Miami beat the Jets, one of his former teams.

• CB Xavien Howard set up the Dolphins’ lone touchdown last week with his sixth interception, tied for most in the NFL. He’s tied for sixth with 12 passes defended

• The Dolphins are tied for third in the NFL with 17 takeaways, and they’re fourth in turnover differential at plus-6. They rank fourth in points allowed at 20.2 per game, and second in third-down defense at 34%

• The Dolphins rank next to last with an average of 3.6 yards per rush. Their longest run by a RB this year has been 21 yards by Myles Gaskin.

• QB Sam Darnold was expected to return after missing two games with a shoulder injury. Darnold has struggled in the six games he has played this season, throwing just three touchdown passes and six interceptions. It could mark the first game Darnold has played a game this season that includes his top three wide receivers — Jamison Crowder, Breshad Perriman and Denzel Mims — on the field together.

• Mims, a second-round pick, has 13 catches for 217 yards in four games. He’s the seventh wide receiver in the last six seasons to start his career with four straight games of 40 or more yards receiving.

• RB Frank Gore scored his first touchdown with the Jets last week. He has 500 or more yards from scrimmage in each of his 16 NFL seasons, tying him with Larry Fitzgerald and Tony Gonzalez for the second most. Only Jerry Rice had more with 18 seasons in a row.

• Dolphins WR DeVante Parker has only one game this season with more than six catches and 100 yards receiving, but he could make it two against the Jets’ inexperienced cornerback combo of rookie Bryce Hall and Lamar Jackson.
