New York Jets vs. Miami Dolphins Betting Odds

Jets +2.5 (BetMGM +100) / Dolphins -2.5 (BetRivers -114)

Jets ML (FanDuel +132) / Dolphins ML (BetRivers -143)

Total OVER 44.5 (ESPN Bet -105) / UNDER 44.5 (Caesars -108) 

Jets total points:  Over 21.5 (BetRivers -103) / Under 21.5 (ESPN Bet -110)
Dolphins total points:  Over 23.5 (BetRivers -108) / Under 23.5 (Hard Rock -100)

First-half spread: Jets +1.5 (BetMGM -115) / Dolphins -0.5 (DraftKings -115)
First-half money line:  Jets +120 (Bet365) / Dolphins -134 (BetRivers)
First-half team total: Jets O 9.5 (Caesars -118) / U 11.5 (BetRivers -150)                                     Dolphins O 10.5 (Caesars +105) / U 10.5 (BetRivers -115)

The Dolphins opened as 5.5 point home favorites, and it moved to -2.5 on 9/16, -2.5 and has bounced back and forth between -2.5 and -3.0. Both teams are 0-3, but the Jets have played two very closely contested games where the Dolphins have not looked good at all in any of their games. 

The total opened 44.5 and took a dip to 43.5 on 9/21, it peaked at 45.0, and has settled in at 44.5 on 9/9. With both teams being 3-0 and so little line movment on both the side and the total, that should tell you about the lack of confidence bettors have on this game.  

The majority of the bets (55%) have come in on the Dolphins, and the handle (55%) is on also on Miami.

The total sees money on the Under at 69% of total bets, and 60% of the handle which does means some of the sharper money is coming in on the OVER. The moneyline shows who has taken a position on the game, and the Dolphins have received 73% of the bets and have 67% of the handle. 

Key Injuries

Jets - LB Marcelino McCrary-Ball, LB Quincy Williams, DE Jermaine Johnson

Dolphins - DB Jason Marshall, DB Storm Duck, OL Liam Eichenberg, OL James Daniels, OL Austin Jackson

Jets vs. Dolphins Prediction

When you look at the body of work for both teams so far through three games, I would side with the Dolphins slightly. But the huge edge that we see in home/road splits for Tua and the Dolphins is what I will lean in the first game for the Monday Night Football double header.

Dolphins 27, Jets 23
