Overview
The Jets host the Dolphins Sunday, October 25, 2026 at 1:00 PM ET at MetLife Stadium, with clear skies, 64 degrees and just a 2 mph wind expected. New York enters at 2-4 on a one-game losing streak after falling 19-26 at New England in Week 6, a game that came right after a 17-12 home win over Cleveland in Week 5. Miami is 0-5 and riding a five-game losing streak, with its most recent loss a 24-31 defeat to Cincinnati in Week 5 that followed setbacks to Minnesota, Kansas City, San Francisco and Las Vegas.
The scoreboard tells the story of two different seasons so far. The Jets have been outscored 122-112 on the year, while the Dolphins have been outscored 132-70. The market has New York favored by 4.5 points with a total of 39.0, and the implied market score sits at Jets 22, Dolphins 17.
The edge here belongs to New York. Geno Smith just completed 20 of 30 passes for 252 yards and a touchdown against New England and is chasing his sixth straight game with a touchdown pass, while Miami is still searching for its first win and has been outscored by wide margins for most of the year.
Key players
Geno Smith, Jets QB, projected for 14.5 DraftKings points, completed 20 of 30 passes for 252 yards and a touchdown last week and is going for his sixth straight game with a touchdown pass.
Garrett Wilson, Jets WR, projected for 14.0 points, is aiming for his third straight game at home with five-plus receptions and a receiving touchdown.
Malik Willis, Dolphins QB, projected for 12.5 points, passed for 137 yards and a touchdown and added 74 rushing yards and a rushing touchdown in Week 5.
Ollie Gordon II, Dolphins RB, projected for 10.5 points, led Miami with 88 rush yards and a touchdown in Week 5 and is chasing his fourth straight game with a rushing touchdown.
Breece Hall, Jets RB, is Questionable with a quadricep issue but carries a 12.5-point projection if he suits up.
Keys to the game
Protect Geno Smith and keep his touchdown streak alive even with Dylan Parham banged up and Max Mitchell out up front.
Lean on Braelon Allen near the goal line, where he's scored a rushing touchdown in three of his past four games at home.
Contain Malik Willis on the ground — he rushed for 74 yards and a touchdown last time out and can hurt a defense with his legs as much as his arm.
Fantasy angles
Start Geno Smith with confidence at 14.5 projected points off a 252-yard, one-touchdown showing and a shot at a sixth straight game with a passing score.
Garrett Wilson is a lock-in start at 14.0 points, chasing a third straight home game with five-plus catches and a touchdown.
Breece Hall is Questionable, but at a 12.5 projection, Rhett Zone starts him the moment he's active — any goal-line work against this Miami defense is worth it.
Braelon Allen is a confident flex play at 10.5 points given his rushing touchdown in three of his last four home games.
Prediction
The market lands on Jets 22, Dolphins 17, and that number tracks. Miami is still winless and has been outscored badly all season, while New York, even on a one-game skid, has enough firepower with Geno Smith slinging it and Braelon Allen punching it in near the goal line to get this one done at home.
