It’s a win-or-die scenario in the AFC East as two winless rivals square off tonight – the New York Jets and Miami Dolphins. The other Monday Night Football matchup is the first meeting between the Cincinnati Bengals and Denver Broncos without franchise quarterback Joe Burrow, and it’s shaping up to be a statistical mismatch of historic proportions.
Our picks and predictions for Jets vs. Dolphins include Miami to cover the spread, while we suggest one player prop for Bengals vs. Broncos – J.K. Dobbins Over Rushing Yards. Here are our other best bets suggestions, suitable for building parlays as well:
*Sports betting is unpredictable – these are just suggestions based on current team and player analysis.
Jets vs. Dolphins Game Overview
The New York Jets (0-3) enter Week 4 winless but will have QB Justin Fields back under center after clearing concussion protocol. Fields’ mobility paired with WR Garrett Wilson’s productivity (229 receiving yards, 2 TDs) gives the Jets offensive upside, though their defense remains a liability. New York leads the NFL in missed tackles and has been particularly vulnerable against the pass.
The Miami Dolphins (0-3) are also seeking their first win of the season. While their offense features explosive weapons in Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, QB Tua Tagovailoa has struggled with turnovers (5 TDs, 4 INTs). Injuries to their secondary could leave them exposed, but historically Miami has dominated this rivalry, winning four of the last five meetings.
Expert Prediction
Miami’s passing attack matches up well against a Jets defense that has struggled to contain big plays. With Fields still working back into rhythm, the Dolphins’ -2.5 spread looks favorable. Home-field advantage also plays a role, as Miami is eager to avoid starting 0-4.
Player Props Prediction
Garrett Wilson remains the most reliable option for the Jets’ offense, averaging over 75 yards per game this season. Facing a depleted Miami secondary, he is well-positioned to clear 61.5 receiving yards, especially with Fields looking to him as a consistent target.
Bengals vs. Broncos Game Overview
The Cincinnati Bengals (2-1) are navigating life without Joe Burrow, relying instead on Jake Browning. His five interceptions over the last two games have exposed Cincinnati’s offensive struggles, particularly their league-worst rushing attack (2.0 YPC). Ja’Marr Chase remains the bright spot, but the offense is turnover-prone and inconsistent.
The Denver Broncos (1-2) boast a strong defensive unit led by CB Pat Surtain II and pass rusher Nik Bonitto. Offensively, RB J.K. Dobbins has been efficient with 222 yards and three touchdowns. Denver’s six-game home winning streak carried over from 2024, making them a tough opponent in Mile High.
Expert Prediction
This game sets up as a defensive battle. With Cincinnati struggling to move the ball on the ground and Denver leaning on their run game, the Under 44.5 total points looks like the safer play.
Player Props Prediction
J.K. Dobbins has been the centerpiece of the Broncos’ offense, averaging 5.4 yards per carry. Against a Bengals defense that has struggled to control the run in key moments, Dobbins clearing 64.5 rushing yards is a strong betting angle.
