NFL Playoff Implications Dolphins @ Jets
The Miami Dolphins play the New York Jets in a game where, should Miami win, will have made the greatest single season turnaround in NFL history. The Dolphins won only 1 game last season. They’ve already won ten games this season and if they win this Sunday then every sports betting fan in the world will have to give kudos to the Fins who will win the AFC East Division with a record of 11 and 5. Miami has been one of the more pleasant surprises this season for BetUS Sportsbook NFL betting fans. They have gone only 7 and 8 against the BetUS online wagering spread but the fact that they are winning games straight-up, as underdogs in many of those games, have to put a smile onto the faces of online football betting fans.
The New York Jets had a chance to really make a statement in Seattle this past Sunday but they played one of their worst games of the season. The Jets are in dire straights right now and are at risk not making the playoffs after their loss to the Seahawks. They will need to beat Miami and hope that Buffalo beats the Patriots. So much for sending 7 players to the Pro Bowl! Who cares when you can’t even make the playoffs? Against the BetUS online betting spread, the Jets have gone 7 and 8 as well. They are also 3 and 4 at home against the online NFL betting spread.
Kick-off: 4:15 pm est.
Here are the BetUS online NFL betting odds for this game:
Miami Dolphins + 2 ½ – 110 O 42 – 110
New York Jets – 2 ½ – 110 U 42 – 110
Here are a few NFL wagering trends that might help us find a good online bet in this game:
The Miami Dolphins are 10 and 3 against the spread in their last 13 games versus an opponent from the AFC Conference.
The Under is 5 and 2 in the Miami Dolphins last 7 games on grass.
The New York Jets are 4 and 1 against the spread versus a team with a winning record.
The Over is 4 and 0 in the New York Jets last 4 games at home.
The New York Jets are still the better team and I have no doubt that they will come out and want to make amends for their terrible showing in Seattle this past Sunday.
Brett Favre will do his best to make sure New York wins and they will but it will be all for naught because the Patriots and Ravens will win as well and the Jets won’t make the playoffs.
Oh, well. Such is the case in the NFL where you have to play well every week in order to get into the playoffs!
Dolphins vs. Jets Prediction:
From an online betting perspective, this one really isn’t that hard. The Dolphins won’t like the cold that they will face in New York and the Jets usually beat the Dolphins anyhow. I believe that the New York Jets will beat the Miami Dolphins by at least 3 points and cover the NFL online betting spread.
