Bills vs Dolphins Prediction

The current betting odds have the Bills listed as a 5.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Bills are 2-0 this year but they have completely dismantled both teams they have played against. They won against the defending Super Bowl champs in LA on opening night and the score wasn't even close. They followed up with another embarrassing win over the Titans on Monday night and now play their 1st divisional game of the year here. The Dolphins are already 1-0 in the division with a leg up as they played the patriots in Week 1, getting a win there, and now they had a huge comeback last week in Baltimore as they were trailing by 21 points to the Ravens and scored 28 points in the 4th quarter alone to win that one. That was a very big comeback and emotional game for them but they are going to be due for a let down here. They have the best team in the NFl rolling into Miami here and the Bills look unstoppable as their offense just doesn't stop scoring and their defense doesn't even allow many points. They are determined to win the Super Bowl this year after the way things ended for them last year in the playoffs, and they are not going to let the shiny new Dolphins outshine them in the division and in this game. The best way to place a bet here is on the Dolphins to cover the spread in this game.
