***MIAMI DOLPHINS VS. NEW YORK JETS (LONDON)***

A nice divisional appetizer to kickoff week 4 Sunday when the Jets and Dolphins face off in London. I anticipate a very ugly game between two QBs who are prone to turning the ball over and are both up against some tough defenses. At this point, I am in straight up Fish fade mode until that coaching staff gets shaken up a bit and changes are made. This team just reeks of dissapointment and disfunction. With such high expectations for this season along with some pricey additions that have not panned out just yet, things are going south fast in Miami. Head Coach Joe Philbin doesn't seem to have this team believing in him nor did he ever. I am just reading between the lines here and noticing that these guys aren't gelling by any means. Their defense is trying to do too much, and it was said that they begged their defensive coordinator to please simplify things this week in order to allow their playmakers to do what they do. I got to believe that it doesn't help this guy's psyche by any means and will increase some more bad decisions under the pressure that he is about to lose his job. That being said I do think that CB Brent Grimes is way too much of a ball hawk and a stud to not be a difference today. I think he locks down Marshall a bit and gets a pick off the reckless gunslinger in Jets QB Fitzpatrick. The Jets offense is banged up with WR Decker probable, and RB Ivory not 100%. I do think Rookie WR Devin Smith could have a big day today in Decker's absence if that is the case, but I must admit that I feel like Fitzpatrick struggles and makes some costly mistakes as well. So this game is pretty much pick your poison of QBS but then I think about just how bad the Dolphins offensive line has been thus far and how much Tannehill has been getting CRUSHED this season. I have to believe he is extremely frustrated and with the lack of run game, it isn't going to get any better any time soon. With a bye week on deck for both of these squads, the pressure is clearly on Miami here. If the Dolphins lose and lose ugly, there will surely be some big changes coming next week on that coaching staff whether it be firing the head coach or maybe just the defensive coordinator since it is still early in the season. The Jets were served some humble pie at home last week allowing the Eagles to get their first win against them. The Jets just simply failed to focus and didn't come to play. They seemed to have overlooked Philly due to their early struggles and thought they would get a win by just showing up. The Eagles were desperate and fortunate enough to squeak out a win with the help of some big plays on special teams. That being said after a plain stupid loss at home like that last week I think Head Coach Todd Bowles will have his team refocused and ready. Fellow division rival the Buffalo Bills are a very similar team to the Jets, and after watching what they did to the Dolphins last weekend the Jets defense has to be licking their chops to internationally whoop that ass. Gang Green confidence has to be high in this one with the Fish at an all time low. In a nutshell- I just see things continuing to go bad for the Phins this year. Bad week coming up for them....(((sips tea))).....JETS -2
