3 Dolphins vs Jets NFL Week 18 Picks

1. Dolphins vs Jets Over 39

Only four Week 18 games have a lower total than the 39.5 total for the matchup between the Dolphins and the Jets.

It doesn’t help that Miami quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is questionable after missing the Week 17 win over Cleveland. Keep an eye on the NFL injury report as this is a different Miami Dolphins team when Tagovailoa is at quarterback. Miami coach Mike McDaniel said the plan is for Tyler Huntley to start but he hasn’t ruled out going with Tagovailoa if he is cleared to play.

One of his three 300-yard passing games during an injury-plagued 2024 season came against the Jets.

Aaron Rodgers hasn’t been the answer at quarterback that the Jets were hoping for. However, he can make some history as his next TD pass will be the 500th regular-season TD pass for Rodgers.

Take the game to land over the 39.5-point total when making NFL Week 18 picks.

2. Miami Dolphins PK (-115)

Few teams have made it a habit of winning meaningless games late in the regular season to negatively impact their draft position that the New York Jets.

The Jets do own a win over the AFC South champion Houston Texans but that is one of the few bright spots when facing teams fighting for playoff spots.

By the time the Jets scored their first points last week, the rival Buffalo Bills were already up 40-0.

The Dolphins have won their last two games. With a win and a loss by the Denver Broncos, Miami would land a playoff spot. The Denver-Kansas City game will be going on at the same time so the Dolphins will need to approach this as a must-win game.

We like the Dolphins to do their part on Sunday as they eye a third consecutive win knowing that a loss would end their hopes of sneaking into the playoffs.

One of the Dolphins vs Jets best bets is for the Dolphins to win outright.

Bet This Pick: Dolphins PK (-115)

 

3. There Will Be a Scoreless Quarter in Dolphins-Jets Game (+159)

There are plenty of reasons why the Dolphins-Jets game in Week 18 marks just the third time in the last 14 games in the series with a total under 40 points.

There are nine AFC teams with at least 340 points scored this season and neither of them will be playing in this game.

Miami has been held to 20 points or less in three of its last five games while it is hard to believe that a team with Breece Hall, Davante Adams and Garrett Wilson can be as bad offensively as the Jets.

When looking at the NFL Week 18 game prop betting options, why not go with the +159 odds for there to be a scoreless quarter?

Bet This Pick: Will There Be a Scoreless Quarter – YES (+159)
