Miami Dolphins vs. Jacksonville Jaguars

Blogged under Bloglockers,Front Page,This Week's Matchup Report by admin on Friday 11 December 2009 at 7:36 pm

The Jaguars need this game to stay ahead in the run for the Wild Card Spot in the AFC.  With that in mind look for them to get the football in the best player on the teams’ hands as much as possible and that is Maurice Jones-Drew.  Jones-Drew will be facing a Dolphins’ D that is allowing 107.0 yards rushing per game and 4.1 yards per carry so he will have his work cut out for him.  That’s because they will likely be keying on him the whole game with WR Mike Sims-Walker likely out for the game with knee and calf injuries.  If the offensive line gives David Garrard time to throw the ball he could have a nice game against a Fins’ D that is allowing 242.9 yards passing per game.

The Jaguars must go all out to stop Ricky Williams as the Dolphins are averaging 150.4 yards rushing per game this season.  If the Jags can slow down the Dolphins running game and they can force Chad Henne into obvious passing downs then they should have some success on Sunday. 

PREDICTION:  DOLPHINS 23, JAGUARS 20
