• ESPN simulations have New York as XX% favorites to win the game.

• XX% of sports bets are currently on Miami to win as (TBD) favorites.

• The line for this game is Dolphins by 4 points.

• Jay Ajayi eclipsed the 200-yard plateau in each of his last two outings to send the Miami Dolphins into their bye week with a bit of optimism. The second-year running back is expected to face a stiffer test against the NFL’s top-ranked rush defense (74.0 yards per game) on Sunday as the Dolphins host the AFC East-rival New York Jets.

• Ryan Fitzpatrick tossed four touchdown passes in a 38-20 victory over Miami on Nov. 29, with former Dolphins wideout Brandon Marshall reeling in nine receptions for 131 yards and two scores. Fellow wide receiver Quincy Enunwa (team-leading 36 catches, three touchdowns) found the end zone for the second straight week at the Browns on Sunday and had a season-best 93 yards receiving – highlighted by a 57-yard catch. Defensive end Muhammad Wilkerson has four sacks in the past three meetings and defensive tackle Leonard Williams (team-high six sacks) had a sack and a forced fumble in the last encounter.

• Quarterback Ryan Tannehill has been anything but cool this season, but the 28-year-old looks to distribute the ball to Jarvis Landry (NFL sixth-best 46 receptions), Kenny Stills and DeVante Parker in a bid to exploit a Jets’ secondary that has yielded an NFL-worst 289.1 yards per contest.

• New York’s ground attack has rushed for 110.1 yards per game and is going up against a Miami defense that has permitted 4.4 yards per carry.

• Landry reeled in 13 receptions for 165 yards and a touchdown in the last meeting.

• Both teams have been extremely generous this season as the Jets own an NFL-worst minus-9 turnover differential while the Dolphins’ 27th-ranked total of minus-5 is nothing to celebrate either.
