The Miami Dolphins have only been a road favorite of seven or more points on four occasions since the 1995 season, with the Dolphins going 4-0 SU while covering twice in those games. The Dolphins will be big betting faves when they visit the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday.
Miami was hoping for a bigger immediate impact from their defense in Week 1 after signing Ndamukong Suh to a $114 million contract this offseason, but the Dolphins' front seven managed just two sacks and two tackles for a loss.
Meanwhile, it's another season but the same old Jaguars. Jacksonville continues to struggle to hold on to the ball as quarterback Blake Bortles threw two interceptions and Allen Hurns lost a fumble in the team's Week 1 loss to Carolina.
