Miami Dolphins Set To Bring the Heat Against the New York Jets

New York Jets

Vs. Miami Dolphins

Location: Sun Life Stadium

Week 3 NFL Football, 8:20 p.m. EST, Sunday, September 26, 2010,

TV: NBC

The New York Jets will try to avoid off the field distractions when they travel south to take on the Miami Dolphins in a pivotal AFC East battle. BetPhoenix have posted the odds for this game and the Dolphins are just one point home favorites with the over/under set at 34.5.

The Jets are off an impressive win against the New England Patriots, but the headlines in New York are focused on the off the field activity. In Sunday’s game against the Patriots wide receiver Braylon Edwards scored and was a key player in the victory. On Tuesday the eccentric receiver was arrested, making headlines for all of the wrong reasons.

Edwards was pulled over and arrested for driving while intoxicated. He has a court date in November and in the meantime he will still suit up for this game. This was just another incident that embarrassed the organization and has frustrated head coach Rex Ryan.

“Quite honestly, I’m basically tired of dealing with these issues,” Ryan told reporters. “I’m tired of the embarrassment to our owner and this organization. Let’s just end it. Let’s just stop. However severe or minor, we don’t need to be that team.” The Jets are also concerned with injuries heading up to this game. Cornerback Darrelle Revis will miss Sunday’s game at Miami due to an aggravated hamstring.

The Dolphins are thrilled with how the 2010 season is turning out. They are undefeated on the year at 2-0 and have won both games on the road. They play their first game at home and a win would secure their top spot in the AFC East.

The Dolphins have been winning with a consistent and steady offense and an attacking defense led by off season acquisition Karlos Dansby. They have allowed just ten points in each game so far.

The Jets are known for their defense but it will be the Dolphins defense that steals the show on Sunday night. The Dolphins are 8-1 ATS in their last 9 vs. AFC East, and 5-1 ATS in their last six games following a win. The Jets will be over matched on offense and the Dolphins will win their first home game of the year and cover the small number.
