Overview
- Kickoffs: Jets at Dolphins at 7:15 p.m. ET on ESPN; Bengals at Broncos at 8:15 p.m. ET on ABC, with Chris Fowler–Dan Orlovsky–Louis Riddick on the Miami game and Joe Buck–Troy Aikman on Denver.
- New York and Miami both enter 0-3, with Justin Fields cleared from concussion protocol and expected to start for the Jets at Hard Rock Stadium.
- Miami has won nine straight home meetings against the Jets, a trend cited by analysts and bettors weighing the early matchup.
- Cincinnati remains without Joe Burrow for multiple months due to a toe injury, so Jake Browning starts after a 48-10 loss in the Bengals’ first full game without him.
- Consensus lines as of Monday list Dolphins -2.5 (total ~44–44.5) and Broncos -7.5 (total ~44–44.5), with models and some sharp bettors backing Miami and differing on Denver-Cincinnati against the spread.
