Dolphins Vs Jets: Betting Picks and Odds for NFL Week 7 Matchup
Jesse M. Cox Published 22/10/2026
The New York Jets are 4.5-point home favorites against the Miami Dolphins for their Sunday, October 25, matchup at MetLife Stadium. DraftKings lists the Jets at -240 on the moneyline, with Miami at +198 and the game total set at 39.5 points. The main betting angle is Miami's struggling offense against a Jets defense that has recorded 17 sacks, tied to the league's top five in the supplied statistics.
Quarterback play adds to the gap between these teams. Malik Willis has thrown for 849 yards, two touchdowns and four interceptions, while Geno Smith has 1,336 yards, seven touchdowns and one interception. These NFL predictions favor New York, but the spread and total require separate analysis before placing a wager.
Dolphins vs Jets Game Preview
Miami averages 14 points and 280.2 yards per game, ranking 31st and 28th. Malik Willis has a 56.2% completion rate, four interceptions and a defense with four sacks and a minus-four turnover differential. New York averages 18.7 points and 290.7 yards, with Geno Smith completing 68.9% of passes for seven touchdowns and one interception.
Miami's Caleb Douglas and Jonah Savaiinaea were limited Wednesday, Justin Joly remained out, and Trey Moore was ruled out. Jets running back Breece Hall did not practice, while Adonai Mitchell and Will McDonald IV were limited. Sunday's 1 p.m. ET game at MetLife Stadium is forecast for clear skies, temperatures in the low-to-mid 50s and mild northwesterly winds.
Dolphins vs Jets Moneyline Pick
Take the New York Jets moneyline at -240 with DraftKings. Smith's seven touchdown passes and one interception give New York a clear advantage at quarterback over Willis, who has thrown four interceptions in five games. The Jets also have a plus-four turnover differential, compared with Miami's minus-four mark, giving them an eight-turnover advantage in the supplied figures.
The price requires a $240 wager to earn $100 in profit, excluding the returned stake. That is a steep cost, but Miami's 14-point scoring average and four defensive sacks make the Dolphins difficult to trust on the road. These NFL Picks favor New York to win, although bettors should weigh the moneyline price against the potential return.
Pick: New York Jets ML (-240 at DraftKings).
Against the Spread Pick
Take the New York Jets -4.5 at DraftKings. New York averages 18.7 points per game, compared with Miami's 14, a 4.7-point gap. The Jets must turn their defensive edge into scoring drives to cover.
New York has 17 sacks, compared with Miami's four. Breece Hall missed Wednesday's practice, but Braelon Allen has 314 rushing yards as a backup option. The 4.5-point spread is above the key number of three, meaning a three-point Jets win would not cover. These NFL Picks favor New York to win by at least five points.

Dolphins vs Jets Game Total Pick
Take the Under 39.5 points. Miami averages just 14 points per game and 280.2 yards, while New York scores 18.7 points per game. Those averages add up to 32.7 points, below the posted total, leaving room for a modest scoring increase without necessarily pushing the game Over.
The Jets have 17 sacks, compared with Miami's four. Clear skies and mild winds should have little impact on scoring. This statistical analysis of NFL teams supports the Under as one of the strongest expert betting tips for NFL games.
Pick: Under 39.5 (total at DraftKings).
