The new Bill Parcells built Miami Dolphins are going to play smash mouth football with big RB’s Ronnie Brown and Ricky Williams. Ronnie Brown was having a career year before getting injured while Ricky Williams has looked dynamic in the preseason. The Jets had a leaky run defense from a year ago but their personnel upgrades in the front seven have impact potential. New Miami QB Chad Pennington will be counted on to play smart and keep the ‘Phins within striking distance. Pennington no doubt will be playing with some fire in the belly against his former team. The NFL betting odds OVER\UNDER is at a modest 36 points for the Miami Dolphins vs New York Jets game.
Last season the Jets owned Miami by scoring almost at will against the fish but Miami’s defense has looked much improved over last year’s version. A bigger defensive front should help slow down Jets RB Thomas Jones who ran wild against Miami last year for a total of 185 yards rushing in their 2 meetings. This season, Jones will be running behind a star studded line that will be counted on to open up holes for Jones and protect Brett Favre. Brett had a career year last season but their will no doubt be a transition period as Favre learns an offense he is unfamiliar with. The Jets wideouts are really nothing to write home about but the Miami secondary is one the worst in the NFL. Does Brett Favre still have the magic left in his rifle arm? Can Miami regain their confidence after being the NFL’s doormat last season?
