The Miami Dolphins will be looking to move over the .500 mark for the first time this season when they go into Jacksonville to face the Jaguars. The Dolphins have been winning games behind the strong play of their defense and with the steady play of Ryan Tannehill. The defense is currently ranked 4th in the NFL. They impressed in their game against Jay Cutler and the Chicago Bears and had that team yelling at each other in the locker room after the game.

Tannehill has been solid throwing the rock around and has also been a threat on the ground game. The team has gotten Jarvis Landry more involved and it has helped with the development of Tannehill on offense. The offense has been steady and the defense has been good. That combination has helped them get to the .500 mark and they will be looking to get over the hump.
The Jacksonville Jaguars are coming off of a surprising win against the Cleveland Browns. The Browns were playing well and finding ways to win before going into that game and were facing a winless Jaguars squad. The Browns got stomped in the game. The Jags got a strong performance from RB Denard Robinson in the game and it helped them get the win. He will be asked to get the ball even more now.
With Robinson stepping up in the run game, it should be able take some of the pressure off of the young rookie Blake Bortles. Bortles has 8 interceptions already this season, but has shown some potential. Don’t think he has shown enough potential to get the win in this game though.
Dolphins 26 – Jaguars 17
