Why Bet on Bills versus Dolphins

No team is playing better football in the final 6 weeks of the season than the Buffalo Bills. Josh Allen and his mates have beaten 5 of the 6 opponents.

Victories over the Jets, Cowboys, Chargers, Patriots, and Chiefs impressed big time. Even the loss to Philadelphia happened in overtime. So Allen and his buds had a chance to beat Jalen Hurts and the Eagles.

The Bills’ confidence is high while Miami is shell shocked after the shellacking they suffered against the Ravens in NFL Week 17.

Buffalo Offense Averages

  • Total Yards: 368.3
  • Passing Yards: 238.1

  • Turnovers: 25

Buffalo Defense Averages

  • Turnovers: 27
 

Why Bet on Dolphins versus Bills

The Ravens beat the Dolphins 56-19 but there are a few things to notice. First, Tua Tagovailoa threw for 237 yards and 2 touchdowns. Tua’s 2 interceptions inflated the score.

Second De’Von Achane rushed for over 100 yards. If Tagovailoa hadn’t thrown the 2 picks and Mike White hadn’t fumbled, who knows what may have happened?

It’s also important to note that the Dolphins faced the Ravens a week after beating the Dallas Cowboys and took on the Ravens in Baltimore. At home and in front of their fans, Miami should play much better.

Miami Offense Averages

  • Total Yards: 409.2
  • Passing Yards: 271.7
  • Rushing Yards: 137.5
  • Points Scored: 30.1
  • Turnovers: 23

Miami Defense Averages

  • Total Yards: 308.6
  • Passing Yards: 213.5
  • Rushing Yards: 95.1
  • Points Scored: 23.1
  • Turnovers: 23
 

Miami versus Buffalo Final Betting Prediction

Miami should play better versus the rival Bills than they did against Baltimore. However, the turnovers don’t explain how the Dolphins allowed Lamar Jackson to complete 18-of-21 for 321 yards and throw 5 TD passes.

Lamar had the best game of his career from a passing stand point. Tua and Achane don’t play defense, which means the Ravens destroyed Miami’s D.

Buffalo is riding high. Earlier in the season, the Bills blasted the Fins 48-20. The score in this shouldn’t be that bad, but the Bills will win by at least 6 and could win by 10 or even 14.
