“2 UNIT” NFL ‘EARLY’ CARD INTANGIBLE SIDE (Dolphins -6’ at home versus Jets in a 1:00 eastern kickoff): Despite another disappointing campaign without a playoff visit Miami has decided to retain their head coach Joe Philbin for another season. However many of his assistant coaches have their jobs on the line which will mean increased intensity for the home side in this week’s regular season finale. It may seem like an eternity but the 2014 campaign began with the Dolphins in front of their HOME fans pulling off an outright upset of New England which makes this a “bookend” pick so to speak. While the Jets starting quarterback has the NFL’s third-worst passer rating the Dolphins signal-caller has shown vast improvement in 2014. Going into this afternoon Ryan Tannehill sits near the top of the league in completion percentage (67) along with a Top-15 mark in passing yards per contest (252), touchdowns (26) and passer rating (93.2). Regular clients are aware that I scored with the underdog Jets last week as they battled the mighty Patriots right down to the wire but that was arguably the “home” finale for Rex Ryan as New York’s head coach. It was exactly a year ago in the regular season finale that Ryan told his players that upper management was about to fire him which brought an “inspired” performance but that is NOT the case this time around
