The Miami Dolphins travel to New York to battle the Jets in what could already be a key AFC East Division battle. Miami looked great beating Tennessee in a Week 1 game that saw delay after delay. Now, the Dolphins must try and beat the New York Jets on the road. Check out the NFL Week 2 odds, analysis, and a free pick for Dolphins at Jets!
The Jets split with Miami in two games last season. NYJ beat the Dolphins 20-6 in Week 3 as a 5.5 home dog. In Week 7, Miami beat the Jets 31-28. In both games, the Jets played well. What’s inspiring is that even though the Jets lost one of two versus the Dolphins, they’re a much better team in 2018 than they were in 2017.
Quarterback Sam Darnold threw a pick six on his very first NFL play. He settled down well in the Jets’ Week 1 game against the Detroit Lions. NYJ finally has a decent rushing attack now that Isaiah Crowell carries the football along with Bilal Powell.
The Jets’ defense could pressure Dolphins’ quarterback Ryan Tannehill the same way they pressured Detroit quarterback Matthew Stafford. If that happens, New York could win this game.

Why are the Dolphins a good bet at -1.5?
Miami’s a different team with a healthy Ryan Tannehill at quarterback. With Tannehill under center, the Dolphins can do many more things on offense. Tannehill completed passes to 6 different players in Week 1. He targeted slot speedster Kenny Stills the most. Stills caught 4 of 5 for 106 yards and 2 TDs. Miami’s defense picked off Marcus Mariota twice. Miami just seems more solid in 2018 than they were in 2017.Team Statistics
