This Monday night the Miami Dolphins travel to New York to take on the hated Jets. The Jets ruined the Dolphins hopes of making the playoffs last season, and there is nothing they would love more than to do it again this season. Miami needs to be focused on the task at hand and take care of business.
I have already mentioned earlier in the week that the Dolphins must do better running the ball and stopping the run, because those are the Jets strengths and if the Jets happen to win, it will because of the run. Miami must come into this game and just take care of business from the first snap of the game. The Jets have nothing to lose, so Miami needs to watch out for trick plays. If Miami can get up on the Jets early, then the Jets will fold like a house of cards and revert to their losing ways.
There is not much else to say about this game, besides the fact that the Jets are a 2-9 team and if the Dolphins have any desire of making the playoffs they need to win this game. Yes it is a division game so it has a higher probability of being a closer game than it should be, but Miami needs to play like they have been playing the last 8 games and blow out this team. The best sportsbooks in the world initially opened up the line as -4.5 for the phins, but it quickly jumped up to -6.5, and is now at -7. There is no reason that Miami should not win this game by double digits. Miami needs to play like this is a playoff game and just run up the score on the hopeless Jets, and make their fans leave the game by the 3rd quarter. Jimmy out.
