Dolphins vs. Jets prediction, spread, odds and pick for NFL Week 5

Pickswise provides exclusive sports betting content to Syracuse.com, including picks, analysis, tools, games and sportsbook offers to help bettors get in on the action.

After playing on Thursday in Week 4, the Dolphins head to the Meadowlands to take on the New York Jets after some extended rest. Despite that, they will be without starting QB Tua Tagovailoa. The Jets have had QB questions as well this season and they welcomed back starter Zach Wilson just last week. He helped them pull off a road win over the Pittsburgh Steelers, while the Dolphins were able to upset the Baltimore Ravens and Buffalo Bills in back-to-back weeks before their loss to the Bengals.

It’s clear that these divisional rivals should have an interesting and exciting matchup this weekend, so let’s take a look at how this game should play out and our best bet.

Dolphins vs. Jets prediction featuring Dolphins -3 (-120)

The Jets’ spirits are likely riding high after such a big win on the road against the Steelers last week. However, Pittsburgh is in a transitional year after long-time QB Ben Roethlisberger retired last season. They’ve been left with quite a QB debacle and they even had to turn to rookie Kenny Pickett in the middle of the game last week.

If not for a miraculous comeback, and more of a disastrous collapse by the Cleveland Browns in Week 2, the Jets would likely be just 1-3 this season. They were easily handled by both the Ravens and Cincinnati Bengals in their other two games this season, and we predict the Dolphins can do the same.

The Dolphins are listed as -3 favorites with -120 odds at DraftKings Sportsbook. That means a $12 bet would profit by $10 if Miami wins by 4 or more points.

Dolphins vs. Jets spread and pick against the spread at DraftKings

Let’s expand on our prediction of the Dolphins -3 and focus on the Miami side of things. While the Jets were taken down in convincing fashion by the Ravens, the Dolphins were able to come back and take down Baltimore in style. They scored 28 fourth-quarter points to defeat QB Lamar Jackson and the Ravens.

Miami followed that by beating the Bills the very next week. Buffalo is currently the betting favorite to win the AFC and QB Josh Allen is the only player ahead of Jackson in terms of MVP odds. If the Dolphins can defeat two of the league’s best, they can handle the Jets while coming off a mini-bye week.

New York has high hopes for second-year QB Zach Wilson, but he’s still inexperienced and missed the first three games of the season due to injury. The Dolphins will be starting backup QB Teddy Bridgewater, however he is a seasoned veteran and is actually one of the best QBs in history against the spread (ATS).

There’s no denying Jets head coach Robert Salah has his team heading in the right direction, but we still predict the Dolphins have too much talent to overcome. With that in mind, a rested Miami team should cover the -3 spread.
