JETS SCOUTING REPORT

While their record still isn't very good, the Jets have come a long way since that Monday night game at Hard Rock Stadium. After starting 0-7 under first-year head coach Aaron Glenn, the Jets have gone 3-2 in their past five games, including a 27-24 victory against the Atlanta Falcons last Sunday. Where the Jets were losing close games early in the season, they've found a way to win those games lately, with a one-point victory against the Cincinnati Bengals and a seven-point win against the Cleveland Browns among the examples. The roster took a hit when the Jets made the decision to trade their two best defensive players, lineman Quinnen Williams and cornerback Sauce Gardner, but the biggest change has been the decision to make the move at quarterback from Justin Fields to Tyrod Taylor.

THE BIGGEST REASON THE DOLPHINS WILL WIN

While the Jets have improved over the past two months, the Dolphins still are the clearly superior team. The Dolphins have had good success running the ball of late and the Jets are coming off a game where Bijan Robinson topped 140 yards against them, so the potential is there for yet another strong performance by De'Von Achane. This also is a New York defense that doesn't force turnovers, with only two takeaways in the first 12 games. The Jets offense has some good playmakers with RB Breece Hall and WR Garrett Wilson, but it's overall a pretty punchless group, one that failed to reach 300 total yards in each of their past four games.

THE BIGGEST REASON THE DOLPHINS WILL LOSE

The big area of concern here should be the Jets' return game, specifically Isaiah Williams, which is a bit ironic considering he had a fumble that contributed to Miami's victory in the teams' first matchup in Week 4. Williams had an 83-yard punt return in New York's win against Atlanta last weekend after earlier having a 74-yard punt return for a touchdown against the Cleveland Browns. In regards to the previous note about the Jets having only two takeaways, including not a single interception, the law of averages suggests those will come at some point.

FINAL DOLPHINS-JETS PREDICTION

Somehow we get the feeling that a lot is going to be made of Tua Tagovailoa's record as a starting quarterback in cold-weather games, which we've discussed before as being just silly because won-loss isn't a stat that's only on the QB, for one, and also because this disregards other factors, such as quality of opponent. The bottom line here is that we have two teams that were 0-3 when they faced off in Week 4 but have improved since then. But, just as was the case back in late September, the Dolphins remain a better team. But it wasn't easy then and it shouldn't be easy this time, either.
