The Sporting News
Analysis: The Jets are playing hard and with some energy for defensive-minded rookie coach Aaron Glenn. They have shown a lot of life in two of three games and are better prepared to rebound from 0-3 than the Dolphins are. Glenn gets his first win in prime time while the Dolphins get closer to the end of the Mike McDaniel era.
Prediction: Jets 24, Dolphins 20

CBS Sports
Analysis: This is one of the dog games of the week. These two are both 0-3 and playing bad football. Miami has added rest after playing on a Thursday and it is at home. The Jets are playing consecutive road games. Look for the Dolphins to win it as the offense plays a little better.
Prediction: Dolphins 24, Jets 17

Miami Dolphins On SI
Analysis: While the Dolphins lost again in Week 3, they at least were competitive against the AFC powerhouse Buffalo Bills and gave themselves some reason to feel optimistic moving forward. There are no circumstances under which anything other than a victory will be acceptable against the 0-3 Jets, to the point where the idea of major changes coming in the event of a loss shouldn't be dismissed. Simply put, there are no excuses whatsoever and the Dolphins might as well blow everything up if they wind up 0-4. The Jets do have some talented players, but they're at the beginning of a new era with Glenn and remaining uncertainty at quarterback with Fields, who needs to prove he should be their long-term solution. The Jets' calling card in recent years has been their defense, but they're one of the three teams — along with the Dolphins and Washington Commanders — without a takeaway this season. There's no reason the Dolphins shouldn't score points in this game and the defense needs to make things happen for once this season. The Dolphins should have a clear advantage in this matchup, but at this point they'll take a win however they can get it.
Prediction: Dolphins 23, Jets 20
