"Chris Perkins, Dolphins Columnist (Season record: 1-2): Dolphins 24, Jets 21 I'm predicting the Dolphins will score three touchdowns for the second consecutive week. I'm unsure whether the Dolphins' front seven, run defense, special teams or deep passing game comes through. But I'm fairly confident the Dolphins will win. However, the Dolphins are 3-11 in prime-time games under McDaniel. A loss certainly will once again stir up calls for coach Mike McDaniel to be fired."
"David Furones, Dolphins Writer (Season record: 1-2): Dolphins 27, Jets 20 The Dolphins can't really start 0-4 with three losses in the division, including two at home to the weaker of the AFC East foes, right? I think the positive signs shown in last week's hard-fought loss at the Buffalo Bills on a short week, plus the extra rest to face the also-winless Jets at Hard Rock Stadium, should lift this team to its first victory. Miami needs to focus on the run game, let that open things up for the pass and, defensively, finally force a turnover or two."
"Kathy Laughlin, Sports Editor (Season record: 1-2): Dolphins 23, Jets 20 It's the Jets. It will still feel grossly hot in Hard Rock Stadium at game time Monday night. The Dolphins have to win sometime. New York's QB situation is unsettled after Justin Fields' concussion in Week 2. However, the Jets (allowing an average of 31 points) have an edge over the Dolphins (32.3 points) in the battle of disappointing defenses. Maybe the struggling NY defense will help Tua Tagovailoa solve his interception issues."
Dolphins are favored and multiple predictions pick Miami to beat the also-winless Jets at Hard Rock Stadium. The Dolphins enter 0-3 and need a home victory against a Jets team viewed as rebuilding without a settled quarterback. Predictions cite extra rest, positive signs from a close Buffalo game, and a focus on the run game opening the passing attack. Concerns include Miami's defensive struggles (allowing 32.3 points) and poor prime-time record (3-11 under McDaniel). The Jets' defense has also struggled (allowing about 31 points), and special teams, turnovers and heat at the stadium could influence the outcome.
