Written By>>> DVAXN Group 25 NFL Football Outsiders Powering Rating ~[Cleveland OH] With Bobby Lancer Exclusive ratings & There Calculated Point Spreads With Trends & Statistics and Indicators
The Dolphins are 26th in the league average 93 yards per game on the ground on 3.8 yards per attempt. Defensively the Dolphins are currently third to last in the league, allowing 440.5 yards per game and 19th, allowing 26 points per contest. Dolphins do need to find some answers on the defense side of the ball as they rank 30th in total defense (440.5 yards per game) and 29th against the run (164 yards per game). The latter deficiency certainly will be tested by the Jaguars, who are ecstatic about the play of undrafted free agent running back James Robinson.Robinson rushed for 4,444 yards and 44 touchdowns for FCS program Illinois State but wasn't deemed worthy of being drafted by any of the NFL's 32 teams. But his strong training camp performance helped prompt Jacksonville to part ways with Leonard Fournette, and Robinson's 164 rushing yards are the most ever through the first two career games by a Jaguars back.He rushed for 102 yards and a touchdown on 16 carries Sunday in a 33-30 loss to the Tennessee Titans.
Jags will get their ground game going and then Gardner Minshew and his underrated WR corps will go off on a very weak pass defense that is last in completion percentage against, passer rating against, and yards per attempt against. Will will score some against a below-average Jacksonville defense but it will not be enough to win the game or even cover it especially if Devante Parker is out for this one. Each of Minshew's three touchdown passes on Sunday concluded drives of 75-plus yards. His final TD toss was a 14-yarder to Chris Thompson who has been a bigger threat in the passing game than running the ball over his career.
Jags rushing duties have been assumed by James Robinson, whose NFL career has gotten off to a fine start. The undrafted rookie from Illinois State is coming off a performance against the Titans in which he had 16 carries for 102 yards and a TD. Robinson's 164 rushing yards are the most by a player in his first two career games in franchise history. These teams are a long way from being Super Bowl contenders.With that said, it feels like the Jags are about a year ahead of the Dolphins in their long-term rebuilding project. Expect a monster game from Minshew and a high-scoring offensive explosion on both sides. As long as he holds onto the ball, Jags should win that one with ease. with all this said I see the Jags cover the spread and win by least touchdown or more.
My bet -2 1/2 Jags buying the hook
