Miami Dolphins vs New York Jets Prediction
The New York Jets have had an eventful couple of days, having released star running back Le'Veon Bell. There are also rumors circulating that they are interested in trading 2019's third overall draft pick Quinnen Williams.

It seems clear the Jets have no intention of being competitive this year, which clearly bodes well for the Dolphins, who are in high spirits after their impressive victory over the 49ers.
