The Jets should be able to win this game at home against the Dolphins but it should be noted that Miami has been far better on the road than at home this season. This is also a must-win game for Miami if they want to have any hope of making the playoffs. The Dolphins are 5-1 on the road this season with their only road loss coming at Baltimore.
Defensive Game
This should be a low scoring game considering the Jets are third in the league on defense while the Dolphins are sixth. You can’t automatically assume a low scoring game though because in Week 3 the two teams combined for 838 total yards and 54 points. New York quarterback Mark Sanchez was terrible last week against New England but he loves playing the Dolphins. He has six touchdowns, no interceptions and a 103.3 passer rating against Miami.
