The Dolphins have won five of the past six meetings.

Why the Dolphins can cover
Miami has the league’s best offense, scoring 30.5 points per game and producing 291 passing yards per contest. The Dolphins are second in rushing, averaging 143 yards. Receiver Tyreek Hill has been nearly unstoppable, piling up 1,222 yards in the first 10 games, most in that time frame in the Super Bowl era. He’s a big reason Tua Tagovailoa is third in the NFL in passing yards (2,934), and Jaylen Waddle has 577 yards and averages 13.1 per catch.
If the Jets rely on the run game, Miami should be ready, as the defense allows 3.8 yards per carry, seventh in the NFL. The Dolphins had three interceptions against the Raiders last week and are tied for ninth in the league with 31 sacks, led by Bradley Chubb with six. Miami’s defense allows just under 320 yards per game, 12th in the league, and the Jets have the NFL’s third-worst offense. They average just 270 yards and 15 points per game, both 30th in the NFL.

Why the Jets can cover
While Miami hasn’t beaten a winning team since Week 3 of 2022, New York has home victories this season against the Bills and Eagles. The loss was Philadelphia’s only one so far this season, so the Jets can beat anyone on their home turf. Boyle hasn’t seen much work but has weapons around him. They include wideout Garrett Wilson (651 receiving yards) and running back Breece Hall (840 total yards). Tight end Tyler Conklin has 35 catches for 381 yards.
The Jets, who are 4-4 against the spread as an underdog and 3-2 ATS at home, are likely to put more emphasis on the run game. They average 4.6 yards per carry, fourth-best in the NFL, but are 30th in rush attempts. With an unproven quarterback, that should change Friday. New York’s strength is a defense that allows 4.9 yards per play (fourth in NFL) and 178.5 passing yards per game (fifth). The Jets also have 10 interceptions, getting four from safety Jordan Whitehead. See who to back at SportsLine.
