The Miami Dolphins are coming off a disappointing Week 14 loss to the Tennessee Titans and are now looking to right the ship as they host the New York Jets in Week 15. This is the second meeting between the AFC East rivals in 2023, with Miami winning in Week 12 at New York 34-13. Will the Dolphins be able to put Week 14 behind them and get back to competing for the top seed in the AFC playoff picture or can the Jets put Miami’s playoff ambitions in jeopardy?
The Dolphins are 9-4 this season, sitting in the second position in the AFC standings as the leader of the AFC East. A win against the Jets keep them in the running for the top spot in the conference, which would give them home-field advantage for the playoffs and a bye during Wild Card Weekend. A loss puts the division title in danger.
The Jets are 5-8 this season, trying to keep ahold of slim playoff chances. A loss could lead to them being eliminated from postseason contention and likely mean quarterback Aaron Rodgers has no reason to return this season after an Achilles tear in Week 1.
This game opened with the Dolphins favored by 12 points, but it has moved closer to the Jets throughout the week, largely due to Miami’s numerous injuries. Wide receiver Tyreek Hill, the league’s leader in receiving yards, is questionable for the game, while the Dolphins’ offensive line is a question mark at nearly every position.
The line on Sunday morning, according to DraftKings Sportsbook, has moved to Miami favored by eight points. The point total is set at 37.5. The Dolphins are -380 on the moneyline while the Jets are +300.
