New York Jets at Miami Dolphins NFL Betting Stats

What looked like a dull game before the NFL betting season now has a lot of intrigue as Brett Favre and the New York Jets face Chad Pennington and the Miami Dolphins on Sunday at 1:00 pm EST on CBS. Favre will make his 276th consecutive start on Sunday. Last year he threw for 4,155 yards and 28 touchdowns with Green Bay.

“I understand that most people think the odds are against me, and that’s fine,” Favre said. “I’m not here to be a god. I’m not here to get trashed, either. I’m here to help this team win. I still think I can offer something to the game of football, to myself. That’s all I can do. I hope it works out, believe me.”

The Jets went 4-12 last season but made a number of addition in the off-season in addition to Favre. They added Alan Faneca and Damien Woody on the offensive line and first-round pick Vernon Gholston and defensive tackle Kris Jenkins on defense.

The Dolphins are looking to rebound from a 1-15 season in NFL betting stats and already look much better with Bill Parcells in management and new head coach Tony Sparano at the helm. Getting Pennington is an added bonus for the Dolphins.

“I think the guy will do a great job of managing our team,” Sparano said, “And the team has responded really well to him, and that’s where we are going.”

The Dolphins are counting on #1 draft pick Jake Long in addition to a rejuvenated Ricky Williams and last year’s #1 pick Ted Ginn on offense. The problems for Miami on Sunday in NFL betting stats could be on defense as they allowed 437 total points last season including a combined 71 to the Jets in their two games.
