The Jets defeated the Dolphins in the first meeting earlier this season, but it was a narrow 20-17 win which saw the visiting Dolphins cover the spread and grab the sports betting victory.
New York has enjoyed a lot of success against Miami whenever Chad Pennington is the starting QB. His record is 5-1 SU against the Dolphins with 4 straight wins.
The Dolphins will counter with Joey Harrington, at least to start the game. Harrington returned to his sizzling form of old last week when he turned in a passer rating of 0.0. That was a career low from a player whose entire career has been far from high. He was benched last week during the game, and chances are pretty good that the same fate awaits him tonight.
All that being said the wiseguy money is pouring in for the Dolphins to cover the spread tonight, and the odds on a home win have shortened throughout the week. Miami is favored by as many as 2.5 points according to the latest NFL lines after opening as -1.5 point favorites. If you believe in market moves then clearly the Dolphins will win this contest.
The Over/Under total points market has been motionless suggesting that oddsmakers were spot on with their initial number of 37 points. Not the hardest number to come up with based on the first time they played this season, now was it?
