Miami Dolphins vs Buffalo Bills
Head to head
Preview
How it plays out
Miami Dolphins vs Buffalo Bills is a AFC East divisional clash between two teams that know each other cold. Our model makes Buffalo Bills a heavy favorite (79% to win, spread BUF -4.5). The power-ranking gap backs it up (#18 vs #3), and the contender tiers agree.
Tactically, Miami Dolphins will want to lean on quick-strike offense to attack Buffalo Bills, whose no true WR1 is the obvious pressure point. Going the other way, Buffalo Bills's balanced offense could punish Miami Dolphins if trench play goes unaddressed. Expect both staffs, Mike McDaniel and Sean McDermott, to script around exactly that battle.
Keep an eye on Tua Tagovailoa (QB) and Josh Allen (QB): the two most likely to decide it with a single play. With Dolphins at home, the model already bakes in roughly a field-goal's worth of home-field edge.
