Monday night in prime-time, the 1-3 Miami Dolphins host the 3-1 New York Jets in Land Shark Stadium.

The combination of first year head coach Rex Ryan and rookie quarterback Mark Sanchez led the surprising Jets to an impressive 3-0 start, but New York will be trying to rebound from its first loss of 2009 following a 24-10 defeat at New Orleans last weekend.

NFL odds makers like the Jets chances as they are favored on the road. The Vegas line is sitting at -3, with the total in the game set at 36.5.

The Jets defense, ranked fourth in the league in yards allowed and held the Saints' potent offense to just 10 points. However, a pair of Sanchez mistakes lost the game for New York.

One of Sanchez's three interceptions was returned 99 yards for a touchdown in the second quarter, and his fumble was recovered by New Orleans in the end zone less than six minutes later to give the Saints a 17-0 lead. The Jets could not recover.

Even with the mistakes, New York's coach is confident in his young signal caller.

"He's like a tiger. He's going to come roaring back," Ryan said after the Saints game. "There's no doubt. I have 100 percent confidence in him, and I have confidence in our football team. I can't wait to play again."

Last week the Dolphins racked up 250 rushing yards in a 38-10 blowout of Buffalo for their first win of the season. Miami quarterback Chad Henne got the win his first NFL start.

This is a great rivalry and should be a fun game to watch. But the Jets defense will be too much for the Dolphins to handle in this one.

Take the Jets and give the 3 points.
