00:00Take a look at game number one. That's the New York Jets and the Miami Dolphins. The Dolphins

00:03offer that sort of mini buy for playing and getting a moral victory against the Buffalo

00:07Bills. They're going to take on the New York Jets. This line opened up around three, but sits at two

00:11and a half at most outlets here, Tom. 44 and a half looks like the prevailing number on the total.

00:15How are we playing it? Justin Fields back under center for the Jets.

00:19You know, the total seems a little bit light to me, considering that neither of these teams can

00:24play defense. No one can stop anyone. You know, the Jets are now healthier than they were over

00:30the past week and a half or so. And there's a 0% chance that I'm going to be laying points with

00:36the Dolphins. I think, and listen, I'm not excited to take points with the Jets, but if this were

00:42reversed and the Dolphins were on the road and they were getting two and a half points, or they

00:45were getting two and a half points, I would probably take the points with the Dolphins. I'm not laying

00:48two and a half points with the Jets if they were at home. So it's, the game's going to be what you

00:52make it. And, you know, when I turn things to a prop perspective, it immediately brings

00:56me to Justin Fields, and it's got to be under eight and a half rushing attempts. You just

00:59got him back. He should not have too many designed runs as he did in week one to put him under

01:05danger because he's coming back from a concussion. Getting a few scrambles here or there, just

01:09naturally being pushed out of the pocket. Sure. But having designed runs at a high volume

01:13is a wrong way to approach tonight's game for the Jets.
