Dolphins vs Bills NFL Pick: Miami Flailing in Need of a Win (Sep 18)

• The Dolphins continued to struggle, losing 33-27 at home to the Patriots.
• Buffalo fully dominated the Jets, improving to 2-0 following a 30-10 victory.
• These two teams last met on November 3, in a game that the Bills won 30-27.

The Dolphins and Bills meet this week in an AFC East clash. Buffalo has continued their success into a 2-0 start, while Miami has had a disastrous start to the season, really needing a win to avoid a massive collapse.

Dolphins in Need of Bounce Back

Miami fell to 0-2 on Sunday, losing to the Patriots at home. Although they were more competitive in their opener, this was Miami’s first loss to the Patriots with a fully healthy Tua Tagovailoa. Despite reportedly being at 100%, Tua continued to struggle and turn the ball over. He missed Tyreek Hill on a wide open would-be touchdown, causing trade rumors to heat up. They need find a way to bounce back in Buffalo.

Bills Off to Another Hot Start

Buffalo improved to 2-0 after dominating the Jets, continuing to look like one of the top contenders to win the AFC. They face little opposition from their division, with a chance to further increase the gap with a win over the Dolphins. Josh Allen was quiet in the win, mostly because the Bills jumped out to an early lead and didn’t need to pass much. Expect him to exploit Miami’s struggling defense for more points in this one.

Dolphins vs Bills NFL Pick

Miami’s brutal start and Buffalo’s yearly success have caused the spread in this game to swell to 12.5 points. While the Dolphins are very likely to lose this game on the road after looking terrible in the first two weeks, a complete blowout may be less likely. Miami has far too talented of an offense to continue to lose this significantly. Expect them to hang around in this matchup longer, eventually losing by closer to 7-10 points.
