The New York Jets silenced their critics by soundly beating the New England Patriots last Sunday. The Jets will try to build on that momentum when they head to Miami to take on the Dolphins in an AFC East battle. The Dolphins opened as 1 ½ point favorites. Now books are putting the game anywhere between 1 and 2 ½ points, though most sites are at 1 point. The public is on the side of the home ‘Fins at over 60%. While Miami has played well, fading the public favorite in this situation feels like a good move.
The hype surrounding the New York Jets (0-1) heading into the season apparently should have been reserved for the New England Patriots (1-0), although both teams will simply be looking for a victory when they meet on Sunday. The two AFC East foes continue their rivalry with the Patriots visiting new Meadowlands Stadium as small road favorites on the current NFL line over the Jets at -3.
The biggest injury news of the week is that the Green Bay Packers will be without running back Ryan Grant. He is out for the season with an ankle injury. The news had little impact on the NFL spreads. The Packers opened a 14-point favorite and it has gone down to 13. How much this effects the Packers will remain to be seen. The Packers are a pass-first team, but Grant was the go-to guy in the backfield, especially when the weather got bad later in the season. Brandon Jackson had 63 yards on 18 carries as Grant’s replacement last week, and may be able to fill the void. Here is a look at some of the significant injuries from the NFL injury report for week 2.
