Expect another dominant performance by Miami’s RBs. Ricky Williams and Ronnie Brown are up against the 24th ranked rush defense in the NFL and should get the ball a combined 40 times. The Jets allows 4.2 yards per carry and 116.1 yards per game.

Williams rushed for three touchdowns for the second time in his career last week against the Saints. One of his scores, a 68-yard touchdown run is the longest run of his career.

The Jets on the other hand ended a 3 game losing streak win the win 38-0 over the Raiders. “It makes it so easy on the offense when your defense is playing like that,” rookie quarterback Mark Sanchez said. “Hats off to them, they had a heck of a game to shut that team out. I don’t care who we’re playing, that’s a big-time accomplishment for our team.”

The Dolphins’ pass defense allows a lot of yards but they also pressure the opposing QBs to turn the ball over. This makes it a good matchup for Miami because rookie Mark Sanchez is not the kind of QB that can take good care of the football and if he gets pressure he will turn the ball over a lot.

In order to avoid pressure Sanchez will try to hit Thomas Jones with short passes or even rookie sensation from last week Shonn Greene (144 yards and two TDs on 19 carries). The Jets will miss Leon Washington’s pass catching abilities out of the back field after he broke his leg last week.

In their first meeting Miami had 151 rushing yards in Week 5 win over the Jets 31-27, with Ronnie Brown’s 2-yard TD out of the wildcat formation given them the winning score with 6 seconds to play.

NFL Betting Tip: The Dolphins are 2-0 in AFC East games and if you’re betting on the game total keep in mind it has gone OVER in 4 of Miami’s last 5 games and it has gone UNDER in 6 of the NY Jets last 9 games.

My pick: Upset by Miami.
