The Jets are 1-4 since the bye week and 1-6 over the last seven games to fall to 4-12 on the season. New York has the chance at a top-five pick in the upcoming NFL draft, but would also like to go out with a win in what could be Aaron Rodgers’ final game with the Jets and possibly in the NFL.
Miami is still in the playoff hunt at 8-8 on the year and needs some help with losses from the Bengals (At Pittsburgh) and Broncos (Vs Kansas City) in Week 18. Miami currently holds an 11% chance of getting in and that increases to 21%, so they do not control their own destiny whatsoever. The Dolphins beat the Jets (32-26 OT) in Miami on Dec. 8 but will be rolling with Tyler Huntley as the starter for this matchup as Tua Tagovailoa is out with a hip injury.

NBC Sports Bet Best Bet
Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) likes Aaron Rodgers to go Over 1.5 Passing Touchdowns in his season finale with the Jets:
“The conversation all week will be centered around Aaron Rodgers and if this will be his final game with New York or in the NFL overall. While we have to wait, Rodgers has already commented that he has accepted either situation entering this home game.
Despite the season not going the way he wanted, Jets fans will show support on Sunday and want to see Rodgers possibly go out on a positive note. For the price of +140, I like Rodgers to go Over 1.5 passing touchdowns in an attempt to go out with a bang.
Rodgers has thrown for at least two touchdowns in nine out of 16 games (56.2%) and six out of eight at home (75%). I think this is a misprice and something the public will jump on to cut this down closer to +110. I would sprinkle Rodgers for a rushing touchdown too.”
