The Miami Dolphins lost a brutal Thanksgiving night game to the Green Bay Packers in Week 13. Can they right the ship in Week 14 against the New York Jets?
The Miami Dolphins saw their three-game winning streak come to an embarrassing end on Thanksgiving night as the Green Bay Packers demolished the visiting Dolphins. The talk leading into the game was killing narratives – storylines like the Dolphins struggling against winning teams and the team not playing well in the cold – but the game played exactly into those narratives. Miami, who fell to 5-7 on the season, saw their already slim chances in the AFC playoff picture get put on life support.
The Dolphins will look to bounce back in Week 14 as they host the New York Jets in the first game of the annual two-game series between the AFC East rivals. Will Miami be able to get back to winning as they face Aaron Rodgers and the Jets? How do the oddsmakers at FanDuel Sportsbook see this game playing out?
What are the records for both teams?
Miami comes into the game 5-7, sitting ninth in the AFC playoff standings. They are 2.5 games out of the seventh position, held by the Denver Broncos, and need a lot of help if they are going to make the postseason for the third-straight year.
The Jets are 3-9 and 12th in the AFC. They are flirting with elimination from the playoffs, but they are just above the cut line heading into Week 14.
What is the all-time history between the teams?
The Dolphins have only faced one team more times during the regular season than they have the New York Jets, and that is only because they have played the Buffalo Bills twice already this year. Miami and Buffalo have faced each other 118 times, while the Jets and Dolphins will be meeting for the 117th time, with another game in Week 18 still to be played. Miami is 59-56-1 all-time against New York and is 1-0 in their one playoff meeting.
The Dolphins and Jets last met in Week 15 of the 2023 season. Miami, the home team for that game, won 30-0 at Hard Rock Stadium.
