2021 Week 11 Primer: Dolphins vs. Jets - Stream, stats, history, and more

The Miami Dolphins come off a long break from their Week 10 Thursday Night Football win over the Baltimore Ravens to face the New York Jets in a Sunday afternoon game. The 10 days between games has, hopefully, allowed the team some much needed rest and recovery time, especially since they are still three weeks away from their bye week for this year.

Miami is 3-7 on the season, having won their last two games after a seven-game losing streak. It has not been a pretty season for the Dolphins, who were expected to be in the playoff chase this year, but over these two wins, they have started to look more like the team we all expected to see this season.

The Jets have struggled to a 2-7 record this season as they deal with injuries and questions about their quarterback position. Sunday is expected to be the return to the starting lineup for Joe Flacco, for whom the team traded this season after deciding they did not want to re-sign him in the offseason.

The Dolphins opened as three-point favorites this week, with the line creeping a little toward the Jets in early betting. It has come back toward the Dolphins now, with DraftKings Sportsbook currently setting the line at -3.5 for the Dolphins.
