Bills Betting Preview

Buffalo got the win last week at home over New England 27-21 but it was anything but easy. In fact, if not for three interceptions by Bailey Zappe and a missed field goal from Chad Ryland, the result could’ve been much different. New England had more total yards, more passing yards and a better yards per play average while holding Allen to just 169 yards passing, with zero touchdowns and one interception.

No Bills rusher had more than 48 yards (James Cook) and no receiver had more than 87 yards (Dalton Kincaid).

Buffalo’s only loss in their past six games came on the road in Philadelphia where they lost 37-34 in overtime. Otherwise they’ve had impressive wins over the Jets, Chiefs and Cowboys, but needed a late field goal to edge past the Chargers 24-22 in Week 16.

Dolphins Betting Preview

Miami came into Week 17 on a two-game winning streak and off an impressive 22-20 win over the Cowboys in Week 16. In what looked like a game with great potential between Miami and Baltimore, only one team showed up and it wasn’t the Dolphins. Baltimore jumped out to a 28-13 lead at halftime and coasted to an eventual 56-19 win.

The Ravens put up nearly 500 yards of total offense (491) and averaged 8.9 yards per play. Lamar Jackson threw for 321 yards and five touchdowns, and even backup QB Tyler Huntley made an appearance and threw for a touchdown in his only pass of the game.

Bills vs Dolphins Injury Report

It’s Miami dealing with more serious injury news ahead of this game. LB Bradley Chubb tore his ACL last week and will be a longterm injury, while CB Xavien Howard hurt his foot and is out for Sunday’s game. QB Tua Tagovailoa injured his shoulder last game and was questionable but has been removed from the injury report.

Miami also sees RB Raheem Mostert and WR Jaylen Waddle questionable, while WR Tyreek Hill is not on the injury report but did leave practice in a boot during the week to attend to a fire at this home. So clearly, both physically and mentally, he may not be in top form. He is though chasing down the all-time record for receiving yards, being 247 yards back of equalling Calvin’s Johnson’s record. It’s a longshot and his receiving total is set at 92.5 in the Bills vs Dolphins props.

For Buffalo, while not considered to be serious, Allen suffered a stinger last week in Buffalo’s win over the Pats but is good to go. Otherwise, C Mitch morse is questionable with an illness.

Bills vs Dolphins Prediction

So much is on the line in this game with Miami looking for their first division title since 2008 and Buffalo looking to lock up their fourth straight, while running the risk of potentially not even making the playoffs with a loss.

Miami has been an Over team at 9-7, while Buffalo an Under team at 10-6.

Miami has been money within the division this season at 4-1 ATS, while Buffalo is just 2-3.

Miami has the second-best mark within division since 2021 at 13-4-1 ATS.

There are a lot of offensive injuries to consider in this game. Miami have a ton. And for Buffalo, while Stefon Diggs is not on the injury report, he was DNP on Friday. Something has to be wrong as he’s only gone over 70 yards once in seven games. He hasn’t even hit 50 yards receiving in any of his last three games.

And then there’s the fact that Buffalo is 11-4 to the Under in their past 15 road games, the highest Under rate of any team in that time.
