Miami Dolphins vs Buffalo Bills Prediction
The Dolphins’ offense started to figure things other late last week, which is a positive, but they’ve done nothing positive defensively through two games. Those issues came against Daniel Jones and Drake Maye, and no disrespect to them, but they’re not Josh Allen. Based off what we’ve seen so far, the Bills should be able to drop 70 points on these Dolphins. Straight crime scene stuff. Of course, the Bills have a history of spanking the Dolphins, which includes wins in 9 of the last 10 meetings, and there seems to be a wider gap now than in previous years.
Double-digit chalk on a short week can be risky, but I have zero confidence in the Dolphins from what I’ve seen through two weeks. The Bills are also 2-9 ATS in their last 11 games as a double-digit favorite. Still, the Dolphins are a mess right now. Give me the Bills in a beat down that likely leads to folks getting fired in South Florida. Stay tuned.
