3) Miami Dolphins at Jacksonville Jaguars (not really) in Week 6

This one technically counts as a home game for the Jaguars but it really isn’t as they will travel to England to take on the Miami Dolphins. This matchup will be at 9:30 a.m. ET, so you won’t get to sleep a few extra hours. On the other hand, there are a few reasons why this will be an exciting game.

The Miami Dolphins have become a consistent team under head coach Brian Flores. Although that may not sound compelling at first, keep in mind that before the former New England Patriots defensive coordinator took reins, the team was in a state of disarray, and last years, the Phins went 10-6 after winning just five games in Flores’ first year at the helm.

The Dolphins are trending up and should be better in Tua Tagovailoa’s second year in the NFL. Last season, the Alabama standout struggled with injuries and shared starting duties with Ryan Fitzpatrick. The veteran is no longer with the team, so this will be Tagovailoa’s team and Miami has made sure to surround him with even more weapons this offseason, drafting wide receiver Jaylen Wadle sixth overall in this year’s selection meeting and signing the oft-injured but talented Will Fuller V.

Furthermore, the Phins’ defense ranked sixth in points allowed last year, so Jaguars offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell will have his hands full. Will he and Lawrence carve the Dolphins up, or will they fall flat?
