The Bengals Vikings odds may be the game of the week but there is some good value as far as football picks goes with the Dolphins-Jaguars game.

The Miami Dolphins have won six of their last nine games after starting 0-3 and they are just one game behind the New England Patriots for the AFC East lead and one game behind the Jacksonville Jaguars for an AFC Wild Card spot.

Of the Jags seven wins this year, none of them have come against a team with a record above .500. Meanwhile, the Dolphins are confident after a big win over the Patriots.

The game is going to be played in Jacksonville, which is in both teams home state of Florida. That’s an advantage to Miami because they may actually have the bigger fan base at the game on Sunday.

More importantly, the Dolphins are the better team overall. Quarterback Chad Henne is improving week by week, the defense is playing very well and the special teams are above average.

The Jags rely far too much on Maurice Jones-Drew and if he doesn’t have a big game, the Jags probably won’t win. Look for the Dolphins to put their focus on MJD and force the Jags to be one-dimensional.

Pick: Dolphins +1
