The Miami Dolphins are heading into Week 18 against the New York Jets as they fight for the last playoff spot. The Dolphins, currently sitting behind the Buffalo Bills in the AFC East are one among the three teams who can clinch the third wildcard spot in the AFC.
The Dolphins are having a rather tumultuous season due to star quarterback Tua Tagovailoa sustaining a concussion early on. They had a string of losses without Tagovailoa but got back on track enough to keep them going – and many games going their way. For the Dolphins to qualify, a win is just not enough. They’ll need the Denver Broncos to lose against the Kansas City Chiefs. The Chiefs will be playing without many starters including two-time Super Bowl MVP Patrick Mahomes.
The New York Jets, on the other hand, had one of the most unanticipated endings. The Jets were expected to change their fortunes under Aaron Rodgers, who returned from an Achilles injury. However, Rodgers couldn’t turn around the ailing Jets who last made the postseason almost fourteen years ago. The key focus of the Jets would be the offseason, the late victories have taken the first overall pick out of the equation a tad bit.
The Jets will get once last chance to take a deep look on their current roster, the coaching and the decision makers before a long offseason where they look for massive change. In the final divisional game, the Jets would focus on bowing out of the season with a last hurrah.

Why the New York Jets can win?
The absence of Tua Tagovailoa is key to the New York Jets’ victory. Although, Huntley tries to be the perfect replacement for the injured Tagovailoa – he is no Tagovailoa. Huntley had a quick win in the last weekend against the Cleveland Browns. However, the Jets are offensively better than the Browns.
In Week 14, Tua Tagovailoa delivered an impressive performance, throwing for 331 yards, two touchdowns, and no interceptions to secure an overtime victory against the Jets. Huntley will need to be prepared to guide Miami on similarly effective scoring drives.
The Jets also have a home advantage and a peaceful comprosure as compared to the Dolphins. They can play without any added pressures of qualifying – making them a bit unpredictable.
Why the Miami Dolphins can win?
The Miami Dolphins are 8-8 to the season. Although not the glamorous of the bunch, the Dolphins are still more powerful than the Jets. They need the win to secure their fifth consecutive winning season and a playoff appearance, which would be against the Kansas City Chiefs maybe.
The defense is also making some solidifying as a post season team. Defensive lineman Zach Sieler heads into this matchup aiming to surpass his personal best for single-season sacks for the second consecutive year.
In the 2024 season, Sieler has compiled an impressive stat line with 8.5 sacks, 49 tackles, 12 tackles for loss, 17 quarterback hits, and one forced fumble.The 38-year-old Calais Campbell has contributed 49 tackles, four sacks, 11 tackles for loss, and 11 quarterback hits, showcasing his enduring skill and impact on the field.
