New York Jets vs Miami Dolphins 1/8/2023 Odds, Picks and Predictions
The New York Jets will go against the Miami Dolphins in NFL action in Hard Rock Stadium, FL, on Sunday, January 8, 2023, at 1:00 PM ET. New York dropped five straight matches and is already out of the playoff picture. The most recent loss, a 23-6 defeat to the Seattle Seahawks, was also the worst margin of defeat. Compared to the Seahawks’ 346 yards from scrimmage, the Jets only amassed 279 yards. Only once did New York enter the red zone and they were unable to score a touchdown. Mike White, the Jets’ quarterback, threw two interceptions, but the offensive line did him no favors by allowing four sacks for a loss of 36 yards.
When the total dropped below 43, they failed to cover the -1 spread. Given that White is battling rib problems, it appears as though Joe Flacco will receive another chance. The Jets’ defense was excellent this season despite their offense’s struggles (18.1 points per game, 27th in the league). With a pass-play percentage of 62.29%, they were a fairly pass-heavy club this year (ranked 5th). They only complete passes 57.07% of the time and only average 6.0 yards per throw (ranked 26th). Only 5.9 yards per pass (ranked third) and 4.1 yards per carry are allowed by the defense (ranked 6th).
- The New York Jets are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 matches.
- The total went UNDER in 9 of the NY Jets’ last 11 matches.
- The Jets are 0-5 SU in their last 5 matches.
New York Jets vs Miami Dolphins 1/8/2023 Odds, Picks and Predictions
Miami presently has a 42% probability of making the playoffs, according to FiveThirtyEight. A victory over the Jets would increase that percentage to 80%, while a tie would drop it to 37%. A defeat would utterly remove them from consideration. They already lost five straight games (2-3 ATS), the most recent of which was a nail-biting 23-21 contest against the New England Patriots. The Dolphins had 21 first downs in that game compared to the Patriots’ 14, but they were unable to score because they threw two interceptions, including a pick-6. Even so, they were able to cover the +3 spread, and the final score exceeded 41.5.
This year, the Dolphins’ offense was outstanding. They average the seventh-highest number of points per play and the second-most yards per play of any team (6.2). (0.408). Their main method of attack was passing, which they do 62.12% of the time (ranked seventh), averaging 7.9 yards per pass (ranked 1st). They have a poor turnover margin per game and a lot of penalties (0.05 per play, ranked 31st) (-0.4, ranked 29th). Tua Tagovailoa is sidelined with a concussion, and Teddy Bridgewater has a finger injury that prevents him from throwing, thus Miami will resort to Sylar Thompson.
- The total went OVER in 6 of Miami’s previous 9 meetings.
- The Miami Dolphins are 0-5 SU in their last 5 matches.
- The total went UNDER in 6 of the Dolphins’ last 9 games with the NY Jets.
