The Dolphins have won two straight.

The Jets are starting Joe Flacco at quarterback. Yes, that Joe Flacco.

Tua Tagovailoa is going to start at quarterback for the Dolphins. Yes, the guy who suddenly is auditioning for "Dancing With The Stars."

Did we tell you Joe Flacco is starting at quarterback for the Jets?

Here are our picks:

It’s hard to expect too many points from these offenses. We think Brian Flores and Josh Boyer make life particularly miserable for projected Jets starter Joe Flacco. We see multiple sacks for Jaelan Phillips and Andrew Van Ginkel. Miami has had recent success in New Jersey. The Dolphins should continue to rack up turnovers in this one.

Dolphins 20, Jets 13

The Jets beat the Bengals and Titans. The Dolphins lost to the Jaguars and had to scratch and claw to beat the Texans. If you have this chalked up as an easy win, you're probably in for a surprise.

The Dolphins are on a two-game winning streak, the longest since the Dan Marino era. OK, maybe not. But it does seem that way. Now they face the Jets who continue to be a M-E-S-S. The QB this week is Joe Flacco, who I think faced Marino in the '90s. Both teams are in the same spot, hoping they can build around highly drafted quarterbacks - Tua Tagovailoa and Zach Wilson. So far, neither QB looks to be the answer.

Just as the Ravens were ripe for the plucking two Thursdays ago, this time it's the Dolphins feeling good about themselves and walking into a trap. The Jets are always going to be a thorn in Miami's side and - even with Joe Flacco at QB - they will find a way to win what should be an ugly game in the Meadowlands (yes, I still call it that).
