Miami Dolphins vs Jacksonville Jaguars Predictions:
Both the teams have below-average offences & disastrous secondaries but Jaguars might have the edge on the dolphins as they are expected to be without one of their premier men on defence, lockdown cornerback Byron Jones.
This game is expected to be a high scoring shootout & the absence of a stud cornerback like Byron Jones might just have tipped the scales in favor of the Jaguars.
Prediction: Jaguars to win a high scoring game
