The Miami Dolphins blew the doors off the New York Jets in their pair of 2023 meetings. First, it was a 34-13 win on Black Friday, then three weeks later, the Dolphins had an even more emphatic 30-0 shutout of the Jets.
Unlike those two matchups, this time around the Jets will have future Hall of Fame quarterback Aaron Rodgers in the starting lineup. But will that change things much? While New York entered the 2024 season with high expectations, the year has been a disaster with both the team’s head coach and general manager getting fired along the way. Now, the Jets come to Hard Rock Stadium with a 3-9 record and a three-game losing streak.
It looks to be a very winnable matchup for the Dolphins, but they’re coming off a rough loss of their own that dropped them to a lackluster 5-7 on the year. Here’s what the experts predict will happen Sunday afternoon:
