NYJ at Miami (+3)

Oz: The Dolphins haven’t gotten any better and, I hate to say it, but the Jets are looking pretty strong. Acquiring Brett Favre, despite him being 45 years old, is only going to improve them. What people are forgetting is that the Jets have a young, strong offensive line and a talented running back (Thomas Jones), who underachieved last season. I’m expecting a big enough year out of him that I drafted him in both of my fantasy leagues. Having Favre as a weapon provides him with the opportunity to shine, or never, ever be drafted again.

Jets (-3) over MIAMI

Joker: This line is easy for me.  Miami will lose to almost everyone this year no matter where the game is.  This is a great starting game for Favre and the Jets.  They are playing against the QB they tossed in the garbage.  The Miami offense won’t do much against anyone, and the Jets do enough to win this game.  I wont take a team +3 unless I think they will win, and this team won’t.
