I have to go with the Dolphins to cover the spread in this one. Miami should control this game and be able to have few issues putting up points against the Jets. The Jets are sub par on defense vs the run and pass giving Miami plenty of ways to attack. The Jets will rely on the run and should see some success vs the poor Miami running defense, but Miami should get out to a lead forcing the Jets to be more aggressive and utilize the pass. Miami is better vs the pass on defense so this should lead to stops and Miami should run away with this one, while the Jets try to come back with thin options on offense.
