All eyes will be on the quarterbacks when the Miami Dolphins hit the road to face the New York Jets.

3 Dolphins vs Jets Parlay Picks

1. Neither Team to Score Three Times in a Row (+118)

There are plenty of reasons why the total for the Dolphins-Jets game is under 40 points. It could be a little risky to take the game and land over when making Week 18 NFL picks until there is some clarity on the availability of Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa.

The New York Jets didn’t score until there was less than seven minutes to play in the Week 17 loss to the Buffalo Bills while a total of 23 points were scored in Miami’s win over Cleveland.

A better option could be for neither team to score at least three times in a row as that carries +118 odds.

Bet This Pick: Neither Team Will Score 3+ Times In A Row (+118)

 

2. First Drive to End With a Punt (-125)

This has the potential to be a game that will make our eyes bleed. If the Jets have any pride, they could come out pretty fired up after allowing the Buffalo Bills to score the first 40 points in Week 17.

The Dolphins found a way to win in Week 17 but it was a little troubling that the Browns ran 19 more offensive plays in a game that the Dolphins had to win to keep their playoff hopes alive. Miami’s first touchdown didn’t come until the first possession of the second half.

A quick glance at the NFL injury report shows some players on both teams iffy to play in the regular-season finale. Keep an eye on the injury updates as we get closer to the opening kickoff.

When looking at the Dolphins vs Jets best bets, there is some value for points to be scored on the first drive of the game.

The safest option would be to take the -125 odds for the first drive of the game to end with a punt although the +396 odds for the opening drive to end with a field goal attempt are pretty enticing.

Bet This Pick: The first drive to end with a punt (-125) 

 

3. Miami The First to 15+ Points (-125)

Per Dolphins vs Jets stats, both teams have allowed more points than they have scored this season. The Dolphins are just 3-5 on the road compared to a 2-5 home record for the Jets.

There have been some entertaining Jets-Dolphins games over the years. The first meeting of the season saw both teams throw for more than 300 yards. This doesn’t feel like a game where that could happen.

When looking at NFL parlay picks today, go with the Miami Dolphins to try to take command early with the -125 odds for the Dolphins to be the first team to score at least 15 points the way to go.

Bet This Pick: Dolphins the first to 15+ Points (-125)
