5 minJets vs. Dolphins Prediction, Pick, Odds: Can Zach Wilson, Jets Play Mistake-Free Against Dolphins?
The New York Jets aren't out of the playoffs yet!
After a stunning 30-6 win over the Houston Texans, the Jets are sitting at 5-8 on the season. That win will surely add some confidence to the Jets, who just watched Zach Wilson throw for over 300 yards and two touchdowns in the pouring rain.
The Jets have winnable games remaining on their schedule. However, this one against the Dolphins could ruin their hopes and dreams this season.
Miami might've lost on Monday. But the Dolphins are still 9-4 and heavy favorites against the Jets at home on Sunday.
Will Miami get back on track on Sunday?

Jets vs. Dolphins Prediction
The Dolphins played the Jets earlier in the season on November 24. Although the game was in New Jersey, the Dolphins still dominated in that game from start to finish.
While the Dolphins are home in this one, there's a big difference in the New York lineup. The Jets started Tim Boyle in that game.
But now they'll start Zach Wilson, who looked as loose as ever playing in last week's game. Wilson has thrown more interceptions than touchdowns this season. However, he helped the Jets earn a stunning victory over the Texans with a 75% completion percentage and two touchdowns.
While Wilson fumbled the ball once, he didn't have any interceptions.
The Jets can win any game when the offense doesn't turn the ball over. That's how well the defense has played this year.
The Jets allowed only 135 total yards to the Texans last week. That's because, even when the Jets struggled to do anything offensively, they were able to punt the ball and put the defense in a great position to succeed.
That's the most essential thing for Wilson. If he doesn't turn the ball over, the Jets will have a chance to win because of how well the defense has played.
The Jets have held opponents to 167.15 yards in the air and 131.85 yards on the ground. They even performed well against Tua Tagovailoa earlier this year. However, Boyle's turnovers put the Jets defense in bad positions and helped the Dolphins earn the win.
After last week's game, the Jets certainly have the momentum. They're confident again with Wilson under center.
New York can still finish above .500 this season, especially with the potential return of Aaron Rodgers.
It's unlikely the Jets win this game. But I think Wilson can limit the turnovers to give the Jets a chance at pulling off the upset.
Give me the Jets at +8.5.
