"No reason the Dolphins can't make it five out of six in the Meadowlands. Since the Dolphins' win early this season, the Jets have traded away their best defenders and elevated Tyrod Taylor to starting quarterback out of necessity. While the playoffs remain a real longshot, there's no reason the streaking Dolphins don't win this one for their fourth straight win."
"The Dolphins will rely on their new formula - running the ball with De'Von Achane and forcing late-game turnovers on defense - to win this one. Most likely it won't be pretty. This is a December road game against a division opponent, meaning it's a team that knows your tendencies very well. Still, it'd be a huge disappointment if the Dolphins don't ultimately prevail."
The Dolphins are favored by 2.5 points, and most projected outcomes foresee a close Miami victory in the low-20s. Predictions emphasize Miami's recent winning streak, a ground game led by De'Von Achane, and defensive opportunism as primary reasons for confidence. The Jets have altered their roster and elevated Tyrod Taylor to starter, which factors into expectations about their defensive strength. Some concern exists about quarterback play and the difficulty of a December road divisional game, so several forecasts still expect a competitive, low-scoring contest decided by turnovers or rushing effectiveness.
