| Recommended Bets | FanDuel | BetMGM |
|---|---|---|
| Tua Tagaovailoa 2+ passing TD | -132 | -117 |
| Breece Hall 50+ rush yards | -174 | -195 |
| Over 44.5 points | -108 | -109 |
Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa has a total of 5 passing touchdowns from his first three games. Averaging nearly 2 touchdowns per game, Miami is likely to exploit the Jets’ pass defense, which is worse than their rushing defense. In all, the Jets have given up 5 passing touchdowns in three games thus far.
Breece Hall had a strong start to the season with a 107-yard rushing performance over the Steelers. His past two games haven’t been as strong, but against a Miami run defense that ranks in the bottom five of the league, expecting the Jets to run the ball more seems very possible. A double-digit count in rushing attempts should see Hall over 50 rushing yards in this game.
The Over of 44.5 points seems like a safe bet considering both defenses have given up many points through the first three weeks. In fact, the Jets and Dolphins rank 28th and 29th in the league in points against per game, with an average of 31 and 32.3, respectively.
This AFC East rivalry matchup on Monday Night Football will see one of the two teams earn its first win of the season. With losses against the Colts, Patriots, and the Bills, the struggle in Miami has reached new lows. Despite a valiant effort against the Bills in week 3, the Dolphins fell short with Mike McDaniel very much on the hot seat.
The Jets, on the other hand, have lost two close games against the Steelers and the Buccaneers, but were completely outplayed in the week 2 matchup against the Bills. Justin Fields will be back under center for the Jets after missing the previous game due to a concussion.
