Winning Streaks on the Line as Jets Visit Dolphins
The New York Jets aim to extend their current straight-up and against the spread win streak to three games on Sunday afternoon, when they travel to Miami to take on the Dolphins in an NFL Week 9 matchup at Hard Rock Stadium.
The Jets overcame a 13-point halftime deficit to escape with a 31-28 win over the winless Cleveland Browns last weekend, covering as 2.5-point road favorites and ending a three-game SU road slide. However, New York has struggled when favored on the road, failing to cover in four straight losses, while averaging just nine points per game.
Miami returns to action following a Week 8 bye, and is gunning for a third straight win on home turf. The Dolphins posted stunning outright victories over Pittsburgh and Buffalo as home underdogs in their past two outings, but have not recorded three straight SU victories at home since early in the 2013 season.
The Dolphins have taken two of three this season from AFC East opponents, ending a seven-game SU and ATS losing streak, but have lost three straight SU to New York, and failed to cover in their past five meetings. Miami's record against the Jets as home chalk is particularly bleak, with the Dolphins going 1-5 SU in the last six, and 2-11 ATS in the past 11.
