For this matchup, the Dolphins are 5.5-point underdogs, according to BetMGM. They're also +195 on the moneyline (a $100 bet wins $195) while the over/under is set at 39.5 points.

While the Dolphins were off the Jets fell to 2-4 after losing to the New England Patriots 216-19 at Gillette Stadium on Sunday in Week 6. They ran the ball well with Braelon Allen, who rushed for 78 yards on 4.6 per carry, and Omar Cooper caught six passes

for 103 yards.

Defensively, they forced two turnovers, which has been a big problem for the Dolphins early on in Jeff Hafley's tenure.
