Jets plus 3 at Dolphins (3 units) The Jets had no problem handling the Dolphins back in Week 6 winning, 24-6. This game should follow suit. The Jets have had a very disappointing season, but they still match up well to Miami and have more motivation since they still need to win to keep their playoff hopes alive. Miami has no motivation with a lame duck head coach and a losing record. Don't expect much crowd support negating home-field advantage. Worse, the Dolphins have two significant injuries on offense. Out is their best pass blocker, Jake Long, and best running back, Reggie Bush. That leaves Brandon Marshall as Miami's only playmaker and Darrelle Reavis can handle him. The Jets play their best when their backs are to the wall. Their defense is strong enough to handle weak offenses like Miami minus Long and Bush. The key for the Jets is to not fall behind. They are at their best running the ball and going with a conservative offense. Their defense can easily shut down the punchless Dolphins while the Jets have enough offense to win this game straight-up. The Jets have been gold in this pointspread range covering nine of the past 11 times they've been a road 'dog of up to three points. Consequently, Miami is 9-30 ATS as a home favorite.
