NFL - New York Jets at Miami Dolphins Sky Sports 6pm

It might be a little early to be looking at Tebow, but Sanchez had better get his chit together. After starting at a gallop, the offense disappeared last week and Sanchez was horrible, only managing to pad his stats in garbage time.

The books aren't too sure here; the line started out as far as Jets -5, closed up to -1 and has drifted back to -2, but really, if the Jets have any ambition, they should put the Fins away today.


Sanchez is likely to need to throw because Miami have closed down the run nicely and Shonn Greene looks pedestrian. Santonio Holmes and Stephen Hill should get some looks today and I fancy one of them to have a big game, particularly with Keller out. Outside of Cameron Wake, there isn't a really threatening pass rush from Miami, so last week's protection issues shouldn't arise.


Ryan Tannehill is as advertised: he's a game manager who needs to keep it error free and give his team a chance. Brian Hartline looks like he's emerging as Tannehill's favourite target and he'll get a real test today against the formidable Jets' secondary, but he's a big guy with good hands and will be a handful.


Reggie Bush will be the foundation of the home O, and has shown good form in the past against the visitors - he may be maturing into the player he was supposed to be, but the Jets can concentrate on him, confident that Revis (who looks like he'll play) and his buddies can handle the rest.


Miami really shouldn't have enough on either side of the ball, but I'm backing one of the most inconsistent QBs in the game.


Pick: NY Jets -2 @ 1.95

Pick: 1st TD Stephen Hill @ 12
Pick: Anytime TD Santonio Holmes @ 2.10
