The Jacksonville Jaguars make the short trip to Miami to visit the Dolphins as 3.5-point underdogs as Week 1 of the 2024 NFL season gets underway. The total is set at 48.5 in the Jaguars vs Dolphins for what promises to be an enthralling encounter.

Jaguars vs Dolphins Picks Week 1

Dolphins -3.5 -104

Miami in a fair weather game in September? I'll bite on the Dolphins to cover by a touchdown. Crucially, Miami went 6-3 ATS at home last season, and were 9-2 ATS as the favorite.

Don't expect Mike McDaniel's offense to be quite as high-flying as they were last year. But, they've added even more weapons, Jaylen Waddle is healthy, and Tyreek Hill and De'Von Achane will both take the field on Sunday.

Jacksonville's secondary is still a work in progress, and Waddle versus Ronald Darby is one of the biggest mismatches of the week. I'm on the Fins to win by at least a score at Hard Rock Stadium.

Jaguars vs Dolphins Prop Pick

Christian Kirk UNDER 4.5 Receptions +120

Kirk registered OVER 4.5 receptions in five games last season, but that came in an offense where Trevor Lawrence had very little trust for any other receiver. Zay Jones missed half the year, and Calvin Ridley was unreliable at best.

Now, Kirk will compete with rookie burner Brian Thomas Jr. and Gabe Davis for touches. Plus, Evan Engram remains Lawrence' favorite target.

The Dolphins secondary projects to be one of the NFL's best and I'm betting they keep Kirk under wraps in Week 1.
