You know that the playoffs are just around the corner when Saturday games start to show up on the NFL schedule. At first glance, a match-up between the Miami Dolphins and the New York Jets may not seem like the most glamorous game on the schedule, but it’s one that is of huge importance to the AFC playoff picture. The Dolphins very much looked like a team that were going to be able to play their way in to a Wild Card spot, but a potential season ending injury to QB Ryan Tannehill may well have put that in serious doubt. Word out of the Dolphins camp is that the injury is not as severe as first believed, but there is definitely no way that Tannehill will be ready to go in this one. If there is a silver lining for Miami, it is that they are playing a Jets team that looks as though it has already quit on the season. We aren’t even sure who they are going to start under center this Saturday. The Dolphins are coming into this crucial game as a 2.5-point betting odds favorite.
