Miami and New York are meeting for the first time this season as the Dolphins chase an AFC Wild Card spot.
Miami is 5-7 and has won three out of the past four games to get into the playoff picture. The Dolphins lost 30-17 at Green Bay last week as the cold temperatures affected Miami but head back home where they have won two straight. Miami is 9th in the playoff picture and slated with a 10% chance to make the postseason.
New York is 3-9 on the year and continues to trend in the wrong direction. The Jets have lost three straight and eight of the past nine, including two straight heartbreaks to Indianapolis (28-27) and Seattle (26-21). New York is 1-4 on the road this season and lost three straight.

NBC Sports Bet Best Bet
Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) likes the Dolphins first quarter spread of -0.5 against the Jets:
“Besides last week, the New York Jets have been one of the worst first-quarter teams in all of football and with the current 3-9 record and a losing record most of the season, it’s easy to see why they struggle to get up for games.
Miami ranks third in the NFL with 6.4 first-quarter points per game and ranks 10th at home with 5.6 first-quarter points per game. One thing that has stayed consistent about Mike McDaniels and the Dolphins is they are a well-scripted first-quarter team.
The Jets average 3.3 first-quarter points per game on the road, ranking 29th on the year. New York’s allowed 14, 7, 3, 7, and 3 first-quarter points on the road this season and I see no reason why the Dolphins don’t get on the board early in Miami. I like the Dolphins’ First Quarter spread of -0.5.”
