JETS WEEK! GETCHA FINS UP!!!!!

My beloved Miami Dolphins will square off against the hated New York Jets tonight at 8:30 PM. It's the biggest game of the season thus far, and I've been looking forward to this one ever since they released the schedules a few months back. The two teams actually match up pretty well. The Dolphins are 2-0 coming off of close wins over the Bills and the Vikings (both games away) and the Jets are back to .500 after beating the Patriots last week to get their record back to 1-1. The Jets players (and their fans) like to boast about their vaunted defense and superior playing, but let's take a look at the how the two teams' stats compare through the first two games of the season:

OFFENSE:
Average Yards Per Game:
Miami: 261
New York: 256


Average Yards Passing Per Game:
Miami: 135
New York: 130

Average Yards Rushing Per Game:
Miami: 126
New York: 126

DEFENSE:
Average Yards Allowed Per Game:
Miami: 265
New York: 286.5

Average Passing Yards Allowed Per Game:
Miami: 162
New York: 236

Average Rushing Yards Allowed Per Game:
Miami: 103
New York: 50.5

Pretty even overall, with the Dolphins having a slight statistical advantage on both offense and defense. Should be a great game.

If the Dolphins can win, they'll move to 3-0 and have a commanding lead on the rest of the AFC East (especially if they can take out the Patriots next week)

Really looking forward to this one. FINS UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
