Analysis: This is a classic look-ahead
spot for the Jets. Yes, it's a division game but they've got San
Francisco at home next week. The Jets put up a lot of points
against Buffalo, but that was their "new" offense. Against the
Steelers even with Pittsburgh without two of their better defensive
players they couldn't score. The Dolphins now have two weeks of
film to look at regarding said new offense, and honestly the
Dolphins defense is the strength of their team. They actually
"held" Houston to 30 points at home, played so decent red zone
defense, and played really well against the Raiders.
The Jets and Miami always plays close and typically lower
scoring games, and the Dolphins have won about five of their last
six at home, while the Jets have lost about eight of their last ten
road games. There's typically not been a huge homefield advantage
for the Dolphins, but there's a bit of a buzz after beating Oakland
and with Tannehill seemingly progressing faster than expected. If
Miami can run at all on a somewhat hobbled Jets defense, they'll
win this game SU. To me it does not matter whether Revis plays or
not, because Miami doesn't have the big play WR for him to take
out. The Dolphins will simply try to control field position, play
good red zone defense (Sanchez has sucked in the red zone), and win
the turnover battle, which at home I expect them to do.
