NFL WEEK 5 PICKS \u2014\u2013><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n For Miami, it was no secret that repeating last year\u2019s success would be difficult because of a very difficult schedule. That task increased exponentially when starting quarterback Chad Pennington was lost for the season with a shoulder injury. Now quarterback of the future, Chad Henne, will make his second career start against the New York Jets and he should be in for a rough time. He had success against the Buffalo Bills last week but to put it plainly, the Jets are not the Bills.<\/p>\n Jets offense vs Dolphins defense<\/strong><\/p>\n The Jets offense versus the Dolphins defense will be the story of the game \u2013 and the story of most Dolphins games the rest of the year.<\/p>\n Rookie quarterback Mark Sanchez made a couple of key mistakes in New Orleans last week and that cost his team the game. The Jets may come out with a more conservative game plan but that won\u2019t necessarily work against this above average Miami defense.<\/p>\n The Jets acquired big play receiver Braylon Edwards midweek and it\u2019s unclear what type of role he\u2019ll play in this game. One thing is for sure, though: the Dolphins will have to respect his ability to stretch the field. Dolphins offense vs Jets defense<\/strong><\/p>\n This is a really tough, bad matchup for the Dolphins. For now, their goal will be to make Henne a caretaker while having the running game lead the way but the Jets are one of the best defenses in the NFL. It\u2019s hard to imagine that the Jets, facing a one-dimensional offense, will let the Dolphins beat them on the ground. The Dolphins don\u2019t have many \u2013 if any \u2013 playmakers in the passing game, which means Henne won\u2019t get much help when he\u2019s throwing the ball. At some point in the game, he\u2019s going to have to make throws to win it and it just doesn\u2019t look like a likely prospect.<\/p>\n Outlook & Pick<\/strong> The Jets offense will struggle in the first half as the charged Miami crowd encourages their defense but they\u2019ll break through with a touchdown and a pair of field goals to eventually get the job done.<\/p>\n
\nWith Edwards and Cotchery, the Jets should be able to loosen up the Dolphins defense at some point and get enough points on the board to win it.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
\nThe Jets played the New Orleans Saints last week and after facing a lethal offense led by one of the best quarterbacks in the league (Drew Brees), slowing down a one-dimensional offense with a raw starter in Chad Henne should be much easier. After facing that dynamic offense, the Dolphins might look like a Sun Belt team.<\/p>\n
