NFL Experts Showing Little Faith in Jets to Defeat Dolphins in Week 7

The New York Jets are hosting the Miami Dolphins this week, coming off a tough loss to the New England Patriots a week ago.

Entering the game, the Jets are coming in with a record of 2-4 on the season, while Miami is 0-5 for the year. But despite being winless, the Dolphins have been more competitive in each game, losing by one score in each of the last three weeks against good teams.

Heading into the game, NFL experts at Bleacher Report predicted the outcomes of every game on the schedule. Analysts Gary Davenport, Brad Gagnon, Kris Knox, Moe Moton, Brent Sobleski, Wes O'Donnell, and Ian Hanford all made picks, with five of seven going with Miami.

Only Hanford and Sobleski picked the Jets to win, despite the game being played at home and the Dolphins being winless. But with Miami coming off the bye week, there seems to be some optimism around the team.

The offense of the Jets has been a problem this year, with the team struggling to find anything consistent on that side of the ball. New York will be coming into the matchup against Miami after failing to score 20 points in three consecutive games.

One of the biggest questions around New York entering the game is whether running back Breece Hall will be able to play. Hall has missed the last few games due to injury, and it has limited the offensive attack from the team.

Backup running back Braelon Allen has filled in nicely for Hall, but the offense hasn't been the same. If New York can get Hall back for the game against the Dolphins, it could make a big difference to the team.

No matter who starts at running back for this team, the Jets are going to be relying on quarterback Geno Smith to set the tone. Smith has done well this season, but the Miami defense has been feisty so far this year.

The veteran will have to limit the turnovers in the game, making sure to not give the Miami offense more chances to score. Smith just threw his first interception of the season last week against the Patriots, and he will have to be more careful this week.

This game with Miami could be a tricky one for the Jets if they aren't careful, and this group can't overlook the Dolphins. Kickoff for the contest between the two sides is scheduled for 10:00 a.m. PT/1:00 p.m. ET.
