The Dolphins are 4-2 against the spread in their last six games and 9-4 against the number in their last 13 games on the road. Jacksonville is just 2-6 against the spread in its last eight games and 3-11 against the number in its last 14 games at home.
Even though the trends would disagree, our free pick prediction for this game is the Jaguars –3. They’ve been a completely different team at home this year than on the road and have a playoff berth in sites. Miami has the same goal, but is just 2-4 on the road this season and just 2-4 straight up in its last six games away from home.
We think the Jaguars’ decent run defense will bottle up Miami’s rushing attack and force Henne to beat them through the air. We like Jacksonville in this contest and think they’ll surprise the public with a strong effort. Also, take the over in this contest, which has hit in five of Jacksonville’s last seven games at home.
Our NFL Week 14 Free Pick for this matchup is: JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS -3 and OVER 43.5.
