✅ Best Jets vs. Dolphins pick
Here's what our NFL expert Gary Pearson wrote this week on why he's betting Miami to cover the spread at home against rival New York tonight on Monday Night Football:
🐬 Dolphins -2.5 (-115) ⭐⭐⭐
There isn't a smack-you-in-the-face advantage for either winless team on prime time. However, the Miami Dolphins enjoyed an additional three days off after losing to the Buffalo Bills on Thursday Night Football.
And despite most people's condemnation of Tua Tagovailoa's play, the Dolphins QB had his team within a score of leveling the game late in Buffalo against the Super Bowl odds betting favorite.
Pearson offers his full analysis for betting the Dolphins, along with his Over/Under pick and best player prop bet for Monday Night Football, in his Jets vs. Dolphins prediction.
🔥 Best Jets vs. Dolphins player prop pick
Here's why our NFL expert Phil Wood is backing Jets running back Breece Hall to run wild on the Dolphins' defense tonight on Monday Night Football:
⬆️ Breece Hall Over 56.5 rushing yards (-114) ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Hall has combined for just 50 yards in his last two games following a 107-yard outing in Week 1. However, he didn’t top 10 carries in either contest, as his team was playing from behind. I expect a much different performance tonight against the league's fourth-worst run defense.
The Dolphins are allowing 145 rushing yards per game. They’re also giving up 4.5 yards per carry, which is 1.2 yards more than what the Buccaneers, Hall’s opponent last week, permit. Hall only ran 12 times against Miami last season, but he still managed 57 yards.
Wood is also backing Jets QB Justin Fields while expecting a cleaner showing from Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa tonight with his Jets vs. Dolphins player props.
💪 Best Jets vs. Dolphins anytime touchdown scorer prediction
Here's why our NFL expert Esten McLaren is betting on Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle to score a touchdown as one of his best anytime touchdown scorer bets for Monday Night Football:
🐬 Jaylen Waddle anytime touchdown scorer (+200) ⭐⭐⭐⭐
I hit on a Jaylen Waddle anytime touchdown prediction when the Dolphins were last on prime time (last week against the Buffalo Bills).
Well, aren't we lucky to have the 0-3 Dolphins back on national TV so soon? I'm going back to the Waddle well to celebrate after he played 87% of the offensive snaps and caught five of six targets last week. He's scored touchdowns in back-to-back games and is one of the few parts of the Dolphins offense to be consistently producing success.
McLaren is also backing Jets tight end Mason Taylor to score the first touchdown of his career - while also breaking down the second game of tonight's doubleheader - with his MNF anytime touchdown scorer predictions.
🥇 Best Jets vs. Dolphins first touchdown scorer prediction
Here's why our NFL expert Sean Tomlinson is betting on Dolphins running back Ollie Gordon to score the first touchdown on Monday Night Football:
🐬 Matthew Golden first touchdown scorer (+1600) ⭐⭐⭐
De'Von Achane is still the lead weapon in Miami's backfield, but suddenly rookie Ollie Gordon is beginning to carve out a role for himself. And now, much like the defense on his own sideline, he gets to face an opposition that's been generous to opposing rushers with the Jets giving up 133 rushing yards per game (26th).
Gordon finished only three carries behind Achane (getting nine to his teammate's 12) during the Dolphins' loss last week to Buffalo. That's a substantial increase from the single carry he received in Week 2.
Tomlinson is also riding with Hall, much like our fellow experts, while offering his best bets for both games tonight with his MNF first touchdown scorer predictions.
