Everett grabbed the +2.5 with New York despite uncertainty between Justin Fields and Tyrod Taylor, trusting new head coach Aaron Glenn to secure his first victory. He acknowledged Miami’s mini-bye after a Thursday game but noted the Dolphins are still winless and rank 29th in explosive plays. With Robert Saleh’s defense allowing just 294 yards per game, Everett favors the Jets in a coin-flip divisional tilt.

Vic Tafur took New York +2.5, anticipating Justin Fields clears concussion protocol and, after a week studying Miami’s tape, finds cracks in a Dolphins defense that has underwhelmed relative to market perception. Tafur believes the spread still bakes in early-season hype, giving bettors a live road dog.
