Can the Jets solve the Dolphins' defense and seize their first win?

Dolphins (6-4) at Jets (0-10)

1 p.m. ET | CBS

Matchup rating: 16.2 | Spread: MIA -6.5 (44.5)

What to watch for: The Jets will face a rookie quarterback for the second week in a row. It can't go any worse than it did last week against the Chargers' Justin Herbert, who passed for a season-high 366 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions. Miami's Tua Tagovailoa doesn't have as many playmakers as Herbert has at his disposal. Then again, the Jets are so young and bereft of talent that it wouldn't be a surprise if they struggle again. -- Rich Cimini

Bold prediction: The Dolphins won't allow the Jets to score a touchdown. The Jets are averaging an NFL-low 15 points per game but have scored at least three touchdowns in each of their past two games. The Dolphins showed their defensive prowess in their first meeting in Miami, getting a shutout, and they'll duplicate it with another strong performance in a bounce-back game this Sunday. -- Cameron Wolfe

Stat to know: Miami has forced a turnover in 16 straight games dating to last season, the longest active streak in the NFL. A 17th consecutive game would match the longest such streak by the Dolphins since 2000-01.

Injuries: Dolphins | Jets

What to know for fantasy: Jets receiver Breshad Perriman has turned 20 Joe Flacco targets into 50.7 fantasy points. In a small sample size, that rate (2.54) ranks in the same breath as DK Metcalf from Russell Wilson (2.41) and Davante Adams from Aaron Rodgers (2.34) this season. See Week 12 rankings.

Betting nugget: Miami is 16-6 ATS since its Week 5 bye last season, the best mark in the league. Read more.

Wolfe's pick: Dolphins 20, Jets 9
