Jets open as Week 4 underdogs vs Dolphins

The New York Jets lost their third straight game to start the 2025 season on Sunday. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers started a makeshift offensive line and lost star receiver Mike Evans to injury during the game, but they still dominated the Jets for most of the contest.

After the Buccaneers took a 17 point lead well into the fourth quarter, the Jets staged a comeback. With less than two minutes to play the Jets had pulled within a touchdown at 26 – 20, but the Buccaneers were lining up for a field goal attempt that would have all but ended the game. Will McDonald blocked the kick and returned it for a touchdown, giving the Jets the lead at 27 – 26. It wouldn’t last. Baker Mayfield calmly led his team down the field to kick the game-winning field goal as time expired.

Now the Jets go on the road to face the Miami Dolphins on Monday Night Football next week. A road loss to the Dolphins would give the Jets a record of 0-4 to start the Aaron Glenn era and all but end any post-season hopes in September.

The Dolphins could be just what the doctor ordered for a struggling Jets team. They have played terrible defense and they have struggled on offense. The two bad teams seem fairly evenly matched. Barring a tie, one will emerge with a victory and some life, while the other will sink to the bottom of the AFC East and will already be bereft of realistic hopes for a playoff run.

Let’s take a look at the current odds for this game according to FanDuel Sportsbook. The current line has the Jets road underdogs by 2.5 points. The game has an over/under of 44.5 points. On the moneyline the Jets are +132 while the Dolphins are -156.
