The Miami Dolphins will look for their first victory of the 2026 season when they face the New York Jets at MetLife Stadium on Sunday.<\/a><\/p>\n

Here’s a roundup of national predictions on this game.<\/p>\n

The Dolphins have arrived at one of the games circled on the calendar as presenting one of the team’s best opportunities to win in this rebuilding season, though the national consensus remains overwhelmingly in favor of a loss.<\/p>\n

At least there’s some movement forward after three weeks of unanimous predictions of a loss, followed by one single media member predicting a Miami win in its last game against Cincinnati in Week 5.<\/p>\n

As we said, the Dolphins still are widely expected to lose, but there is some progress in terms of their predictions, however small.<\/p>\n

Adam Kaufman:\u00a0Jets 24, Dolphins 17<\/p>\n

Michael Middlehurst-Schwartz:\u00a0 Jets 24, Dolphins 23<\/p>\n

Analysis:\u00a0The Jets’ run defense keeps having issues and the Dolphins have become a very effective running team led by Ollie Gordon II and Malik Willis. They will also come out refreshed defensively after the bye to contain what’s around Geno Smith and bring some pressure.<\/p>\n

Prediction:\u00a0Dolphins 24, Jets 20<\/p>\n

Matt Bowen: JetsMike Clay:\u00a0Jets<\/p>\n

Seth Wickersham:\u00a0Jets<\/p>\n

Analysis: The Dolphins get a rare chance to avoid creating the ultimate NFL bookends: 17-0 and 0-17. Maybe they\u2019ll win the rematch in Miami.<\/p>\n

Prediction:\u00a0Jets 16, Dolphins 13<\/p>\n

Jeremy Bergman:\u00a0Jets 24, Dolphins 16<\/p>\n

Brooke Cersosimo: Jets 20, Dolphins 16<\/p>\n

Gennaro Filice:\u00a0Jets 19, Dolphins 16<\/p>\n

Bobby Kownack:\u00a0Jets 23, Dolphins 17<\/p>\n

Dan Parr:\u00a0Jets 22, Dolphins 18<\/p>\n

Analysis:\u00a0The Dolphins are off their bye in search of their first victory, while the Jets lost to the Patriots last week. The Jets have the better team and their defense should be able to limit the Miami offense. But the Dolphins play hard and will also play well on defense. It’s close.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Prediction:\u00a0Jets 19, Dolphins 17<\/p>\n

Zach Berman: Jets
Chad Graff: Jets
Jon Greenberg: Jets
Larry Holder: Jets
Josh Kendall: Jets
Nick Kosmidi: Jets
Steve Louis Goldstein: Jets
Austin Mock: Jets<\/p>\n

Analysis:\u00a0This game was highlighted from the start as one of those best opportunities for the Dolphins during this full-blown rebuilding season, and nothing has changed that outlook. The Jets \u2014 to borrow an expression \u2014 pretty much are who we thought they were, a young team that’s not good enough to compete for a playoff spot, good enough to be a tough out but also never an overwhelming opponent. The Dolphins haven’t played since that disappointing Week 5 loss against Cincinnati when they took a step back after competitive games against Kansas City and Minnesota, so it’s difficult to gauge what kind of performance they’ll offer. The Dolphins will defeat the Jets this season, but we’re thinking it’ll happen in the rematch in five weeks.<\/p>\n

Prediction:\u00a0Jets 19, Dolphins 17<\/p>\n
