Writer’s Breakdown and Pick for the Jaguars vs Dolphins Game

Jaguars Look to Make an Early Season Statement

Jacksonville extended Trevor Lawrence’s contract in the offseason, hoping to secure long-term success.

Last season, Lawrence completed 65.6% of his passes, totaling over 4,000 yards with 21 touchdowns and 14 interceptions, though he was sacked 35 times.

The team’s leading receiver, Calvin Ridley, has moved on, leaving Christian Kirk, Gabe Davis, and newcomer Brian Thomas Jr. as key targets, along with tight end Evan Engram.

The Jaguars have a new backup quarterback.

Former Patriots signal caller Mac Jones will sit in behind Lawrence for 2024.

Running back Travis Etienne is poised for a big season after rushing for over 1,000 yards and scoring 11 touchdowns last year, without losing a fumble.

The Jaguars will host their first home game in Week 2 against the Cleveland Browns.

Dolphins Seek to Continue Offensive Success

The Dolphins were one of the NFL’s top offensive teams last season.

Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa started all 17 games, completing 388 passes for 4,624 yards and 29 touchdowns.

Tim Boyle and Skyler Thompson are the next two in line for Miami under center.

Tyreek Hill led the league in receiving yards with over 1,790 and scored 13 touchdowns, while Jaylen Waddle contributed with four touchdowns.

Miami’s running game was bolstered by Raheem Mostert and De’Von Achane, who combined for 1,800 yards and 26 touchdowns.

In Week Two, the Dolphins will face the Buffalo Bills in a key divisional game on Thursday night.

The first road game of the season for the Miami Dolphins is in Week 3.

That will be on the road in Seattle.

They will finish September with another home game; against the Titans.

Final Betting NFL Pick: Dolphins Top Jaguars in Miami

We predict the Miami Dolphins will win this game at home.

Miami’s offensive firepower should be too much for Jacksonville to handle.

The Jaguars could come away with a nice season, but it starts after the opener.

When we go to make our score prediction we see the Dolphins 34-20 over the Jaguars.

Bet on the Dolphins -3.5 over the Jaguars.

Enjoy the game and good luck with your NFL bets!
