Miami Dolphins vs NY Jets Prediction
This has nothing to do with the Miami Dolphins, it has everything to do with the Jets being absolutely incompetent across the board. The Jets’ defense hasn’t lived up to the hype, the offense is a mess, and the team overall is undisciplined. That game against the Colts was embarrassing with the amount of penalties and mental mistakes. Yes, the Dolphins aren’t a team that should be laying a touchdown against anybody, but it’s just how bad the Jets are. Also, the Dolphins have a history under Mike McDaniel of beating up bad teams. It’s the teams with a winning record you have to worry bout. Give me the Dolphins by a touchdown or two.
