The Jets are 5-16-1 ATS in their last 22 games on grass and 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games overall. The Dolphins are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games overall and 5-2 ATS in their last 7 road games.
Miami is a better team than their 2-3 record indicates, and the Dolphins showed that were their complete domination of a good San Francisco 49ers team last week. New York got a boost with Le’Veon Bell back in the lineup, however, this is still an offense that is missing a ton of weapons and comes into this game ranked dead last in points scored per game and 28th in total yards. Miami is a decent team at home and as Ryan Fitzpatrick is playing at a high level, I think the Dolphins do enough to cover this large home spread. Good Luck!
