Dolphins vs Jets Prediction
Both of these teams come into this matchup looking for their first win of the season, but the good news is that one side will get that win here (most likely). Miami has allowed 31+ points in all three games this year, but they were much more competitive against the Bills last week. New York is dealing with a backup quarterback, but they have also had issues on defense, allowing at least 29 points in all three games. It is tough to trust either side in this one, but I will take Miami at home, as they have looked better in their last two games.
