Betting on the Miami Dolphins
- Regular Season Record: 3-1
- BetMGM Spread: -3.0.
- Moneyline: (-164).
- Over/Under: 44.5.
Tua Tagovailoa will miss the game against the Jets and likely a few more as he recovers from concussion symptoms. This was very worrying for the Dolphins, who had started the season with a bang.
Teddy Bridgewater will take his position, an experienced player with only one season with a record above.500, with the Minnesota Vikings in 2015. After replacing Tua during the first quarter against Cincinnati, the QB finished with 195 yards, a TD and an interception in the fourth quarter that ended in a Bengals’ touchdown on the next offensive series.
In terms of defense, Xavien Howard might be absent from the upcoming game after allowing 371 total yards to Cincinnati. It was the second most points conceded this year by the Dolphins, who will now have to measure themselves against a recovering Zach Wilson.
Betting on the New York Jets
- Season record: 2-2.
- BetMGM Spread: +3.0.
- Moneyline: (+140).
- Over/Under: 44.5.
Both of the Jets’ victories this season have been the result of comebacks, the most recent of which occurred last Sunday, when they scored 14 fourth-quarter points against a struggling Steelers defense.
On offense, Zach Wilson resumed the leadership of the offense after three weeks out due to injury. Although the young QB threw a pair of interceptions, he totaled 252 yards and a major TD in the final period. Breece Hall had a solid game on the ground as well, with 66 yards and a touchdown; however, the plan against Miami should be concentrated on yards through the air.
The defense, meanwhile, was the star of the show against Pittsburgh. They intercepted four passes against the Steelers, three against Kenny Pickett and one against Mitch Trubisky, scoring twice after recovering the ball and sealing the win with one in the game’s last offensive series.
For the second time this season, the Jets conceded less than 300 total yards and may have another good game against a Bridgewater that is a real question mark.
JefeBet Prediction
The uncertainties regarding Miami’s offensive due to Tagovailoa’s injury, as well as the inconsistency demonstrated by the Jets’ offense thus far, indicate a game with many turnovers and few points scored.
Additionally, the Under is 5-0 in the last five games in New York, and the Under is 4-1 in four of the last five mtachups between the two clubs. In 2022, the Dolphins have recorded three losses in four games; as for the Jets, they have two.
Prediction: Under (MIA 21 – NY 17).
