23+ min ago (293+ words) The Jets host the Dolphins at MetLife Stadium in Week 14 of the NFL season. The Dolphins are in the midst of a surprising late-season run after winning their past three games. The Jets have also found a bit of rhythm after winning three of their past five games. The Dolphins are 2.5-point road favorites with the Over/Under listed at 41.5 points. The Jets and Dolphins are going nowhere this season as they both sit at the bottom of the AFC East. Their recent wins are undoubtedly fool's gold for any fans looking for hope, but we'll try to find a bet in this game that otherwise would capture much attention. Believe it or not, the Jets rank in the top 10 in passing defense, allowing just 196 passing yards per game. Meanwhile, the Dolphins rank 27th in passing with Tua Tagovailoa throwing for…...
