Sunday October 18 in the NFL was one of the most bizarre, (weirdest) days I have ever seen….From a handicapping standpoint, at least for me, it was a disaster….We saw one of the worst teams in the league pull off a upset over what many consider one of the best teams in the league as a 14.5 point underdog, of course I’m talking about the Raiders beating the Eagles.

NY Jets -2.5 @ Miami Dolphins (36.5)

Much focus on the QB situation as Henne will be making only his second start of his young career and Sanchez making only his 4th start…

The Jets have been seeing most of the action this week and wouldn’t be surprised to see the books move the line to -3.0 by game time…It is not surprising the Jets are getting the action as they are 9-1 ATS in the last 10 meetings in this series and 6-0 when playing at Miami..They suffered their first defeat last week losing at N. Orleans 24-10…

Jets will also be in a revenge situation as it was the Dolphins on the final week of last season that handed the Jets a 24-17 loss at NY thus knocking the Jets out of the playoffs…

It should be somewhat of a “slow down” game as Miami will certainly focus on the running game where they lead the NFL with Ronny Brown and Ricky Williams…however this plays into the Jets defensive strength of being ranked 4th against the run while Miami is ranked 2nd against the run…The Jets have allowed only 3 td’s this season and this being done against 4 teams that are ranked in the upper 50% in the league….They have allowed 300 total yards only once this season and that was in the loss to N. Orleans where the Saints put up two defensive touchdowns. The defense should dominate in this game with 2 Qb’s with only 5 combined starts in the NFL. That coupled with a time consuming running game by the Dolphins this should be a low scoring event and I am going with the Under 36.5
Recommended Play: Under 36.5

 The addition of Braylon Edwards from Cleveland should help the Jets offensively, but don’t look for him to have much of an impact tonight being his first game with the Jets.
