Key Stats

Jacksonville Jaguars

Trevor Lawrence will be the starting quarterback for the Jaguars against the Dolphins on Sunday. Lawrence finished the year last year with 16 games played, 4,016 yards, 21 touchdowns, 14 interceptions, and a 65.6 QBR. During the preseason in the one game played, Lawrence threw for three touchdowns and 134 passing yards.

Travis Etienne Jr., has been great since coming into the NFL from Clemson. Etienne Jr rushed for 1,008 yards and 11 touchdowns last season. He is projected to have another great year with the Jaguars.

Miami Dolphins

Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa signed a big contract with the Dolphins this off-season worth $212.4 million and $167 million guaranteed. Tua has a lot to prove this season after signing a big contract. Tua had a great year last season he threw for 4,624 yards, 29 touchdowns, 14 interceptions and a QBR of 69.3. He looks to build off the success of last season but most importantly win in the playoffs.

Tyreek Hill ranked second in the NFL for receptions and tied for the lead in the NFL for touchdowns. Hill had 1,799 yards, 119 receptions, and 13 touchdowns last season. Hill and Tagovailoa will look to have that same chemistry coming into this season.

Prediction

The Miami Dolphins are favored in this matchup with -165 odds. The Dolphins have a dominating offense led by Tua Tagovailoa, Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle and Raheem Mostert. The Dolphins last year allowed less than 200 passing yards and 100 rushing yards per game. However, the Dolphins have lost some key defensive players in free agency this offseason. Trevor Lawrence could possibly take advantage of Miami's defense, but it will not be enough to win the game.

Final Pick

Miami Dolphins, (-160)
