I agree about the games played and the teams played. Miami definitely does not have the 2nd best run D although that is where they are ranked. I will post some stats below to back this up.
Here is a list of the teams they have played and where each team is ranked in Rush D
Buffalo- ranked 29th in run D
San Diego- ranked 27th in run D
ATL- ranked 24th in run D
Indy- ranked 15th in run D
Here is some stats where Miami has faced teams with a weak run offense
ATL-ranked 15th in rush O
Indy ranked 29th in rush O
SD- ranked 32nd in rush O
Buff- ranked 10th in rush O (this stat is skewed a little because they are 25th against the pass and teams try to throw on them)
Jets Rush D is ranked 13th
Jets Pass D is ranked 6th
Jets Overall D is ranked 4th ( played against some offenses with the capabilities of putting up a load of points)
Jets Overall O 24th
Jets Pass O 27th
Jets Run O 7th
So, you got a run offense in the Jets that has faced 3 of the top 11 run Defenses this year in New Orleans, New England, and Tennessee. Then you got a run O in Miami that has faced 3 teams in ATL, Indy, and SD that are 15 are below in rush D. I actually think the Jets run game is overlooked. They are still ranked 7th in rush O and they have only went against one Defense that is not in the top 11 in run D. I look for the NYJ to bounce back and control this game. Rex has already proved this year that if he shut you down when he was in Baltimore that he could shut you down while he is in New York. I think that proves to be the truth again tonight. Jets win and cover.
Would you believe I woke up just in time to see a 27-24 Jets lead go down the toilet. Dolphins simply made plays in the final drive and deserved to win.
Next time, I need to consider how the undecided votes should come into play...voting was close between teams, the undecided may have hinted to not take Jets and/or pass on the game.
