The Miami Dolphins come off their Week 6 bye week with their best opening odds of the season. They are not favored to beat the New York Jets in Week 7, but for the first time in 2026, they also aren’t expected to be blown out. Small steps forward.
The Jets are 2-4 this season and in third place in the AFC East. The Dolphins are 0-5, in the basement of the division, and currently second in the 2027 NFL Draft pick order. Could Miami’s first division rivalry game of the year spark something in the team? Will we see improvements as the team comes out of their off week?
According to FanDuel Sportsbook, the line has New York favored by 5.5. The point total is 40.5 points and the Jets are -245 on the moneyline while Miami is +200 for the straight-up win.
New York sees this game as a should-win contest. Will they walk all over the Dolphins? Or can Miami take advantage of two weeks to prepare and make adjustments for this game to pull off the upset?
