Written before the game and kept as published. Final: Miami Dolphins 28, New York Jets 25 — the graded call is above.
Miami Dolphins at New York Jets is a AFC East game, the first of two meetings, with the rematch in Week 12. The model has the Jets by 4.5 (63%) off a -2.7 to -4.3 rating gap. Division games carry weight the model does not price: head-to-head is the first tiebreaker in the AFC East, so a win here is worth more in January than the standings column shows.
The sharpest unit gap in the game runs one way: the Jets offense grades -1.4 (28th of 32) against a Dolphins defense at -3.9 (31st) — 2.5 points of separation on our scale, and the single biggest reason the line sits where it does. Going the other direction, the Dolphins offense (-0.7, 23rd) meets the Jets defense (-2.0, 25th), a 1.3-point gap.
On the standings side, AFC East games are the ones that decide the tiebreakers. Head-to-head record is the first tiebreaker between two teams in the same division, and division record is the next — so the value of this result is not just the win column. They meet again in Week 12, which makes a sweep the outcome with real leverage on the AFC East race.
Zoom out to the full season and the model projects the Jets at 6.3 wins (favored in 3 of 17) and the Dolphins at 5.0 (favored in 2) — 1.4 wins apart across the year. By win probability this is the 17th-hardest game on the Jets' schedule and the 11th-hardest on the Dolphins'. It is the softest spot on the Jets' entire schedule.
Recent history, for context only: 48 regular-season meetings since 2002, 28-20 in the Dolphins' favour, plus 1 playoff game. They last met in 2025: Dolphins won 34-10 in December. Over their last 4 meetings the Jets are 1-3. It is not an input to the line — rosters turn over faster than series records do.
Does the model earn this number? In 666 of the 3266 walk-forward games it has been graded on (2013-2024, no market line used), it landed in the 60-65% range. Those favorites went 59%. The 63% on the Jets here sits in that same band, and the history runs slightly behind the claim.
