The Miami Dolphins (0-4) and

New York Jets (2-3) will meet up in an AFC East divisional matchup with both teams looking to turn things around. Kickoff from MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, NJ, is scheduled for 8:30 (ET) on ESPN’s Monday Night Football.
Oddsmakers sent out the Jets as heavy 8-point home favorites, but the early wagering has knocked that number down by 1½ in most spots. The total has seen heavy action to the 'over' due to the early-season scoring in the NFL, settling in at 42½ across the board.
Sharp bettors may get back on New York once the status of center Nick Mangold becomes official, as he’s currently listed as probable with an ankle injury that has slowed him down for most of the season.
Part of the line movement away from the Jets also has to do with the reports all week that the clubhouse was in disarray following the club's third consecutive defeat at New England in Week 5. New York abruptly traded wide receiver Derrick Mason to Houston this past Wednesday after Mason publicly questioned the Jets play calling on offense.
New York GM Mike Tannenbaum denied that Mason's criticism had anything to do with the deal, noting it was "performance on the field" driving the trade that will see the Texans give up an undisclosed late-round draft pick in 2012.
Miami enters the game in relatively good health due to being one of six teams coming off the first bye week of the season, but starting quarterback Chad Henne (shoulder) is out for the season due to an injury suffered against the San Diego Chargers in Week 4.
Head coach Tony Sparano is certainly on the hot seat and is favored at many books to be the first coach fired this season, but he’s also 3-0 straight up on the road in this series. Simply fading the Dolphins due to the injury under center could be a mistake,
Matt Moore gained plenty of experience as a starter during his three years with the Carolina Panthers before hitting South Beach this offseason.
The good news for the Jets is they're playing a pretty bad Miami squad. The bad news is the Dolphins have had New York's number in the recent matchups. Miami has won four of the last five meetings, covering the spread in all four outright wins.
'Over' bettors in the head-to-head meetings were enjoying a 3-game win streak before the clash last December in New York.
Weather forecasts tomorrow suggest mostly cloudy skies and game-time temperatures in the mid-50s, while a slight breeze of 5-10 mph will be blowing out of the southwest.
The Jets will need to quickly refocus after Monday’s game, hosting the rested San Diego Chargers (4-1), who will come into the contest as the AFC West leaders.
Miami returns home for Week 7 action, hosting the Denver Broncos who spent their bye week getting Tim Tebow ready to assume the starting quarterback role. Adding to the hype of Tebow making his first start this season, the game at Sun Life Stadium will honor the Florida Gators' 2008 national championship team. Denver’s second-year quarterback was a member of that team that handed the Oklahoma Sooners a 24-14 loss in the BCS Championship Game on Jan. 8, 2009.
