Why Bet on the Jets?

The home team, New York Jets are coming off the way over San Francisco, in which they started down 14-0. The Jets win snapped their four game losing streak. Todd Bowels, in his second season as the head coach may be on the hot seat following this poor season. The Jets are one of the worst passing teams in all of the National Football League. Bryce Petty has taken over the reigns as quarterback for Ryan Fitzpatrick. The Jets are passing for just 222.5 yards per game. The Jets will be without their top running back Matt Forte for this game. Forte has a torn meniscus in his right knee.

Why Bet on the Dolphins?

First year head coach Adam Gase has the Miami Dolphins in the hunt for the postseason with three games to go. The Dolphins have games against the Bills and Patriots following this game. Miami is 2-4 when playing on the road this season. The bad news for Miami is the loss of their quarterback Ryan Tannehill. Matt Moore will get the start in this game for Miami. The Dolphins need to see just 44 yards on the ground out of their top running back Jay Ajayi to get to 1,000 on the season. The Dolphins are scoring 21.6 points per game, while the defense for the Dolphins is allowing 23.2 per game.

Expert Pick & Score Prediction

This should be quite the game on Saturday night. The quarterback battle is between Matt Moore and Bryce Petty. Those two do not strike fear into the other. Both teams are coming off a win. Obviously, the game means much more to Miami, as they are trying to get into the postseason. The Jets would love to play the role of the spoiler, especially in a game against a divisional foe. Look for the Jets to get their running game going, and Bryce Petty takes care of the football. In a little bit of an upset, the New York Jets are going to beat the Miami Dolphins. The final bet for this game is the New York Jets +2.5 over the Miami Dolphins.
