Buffalo Bills at Miami Dolphins Preview & Picks
Buffalo Bills at Miami Dolphins Preview & Picks
Miami are tipped to finally get the better of AFC East rivals Buffalo.
The Bills have dominated the Dolphins in recent years, but have lost some key talent this offseason.
Miami, on the other hand, are a largely settled group, so we are taking the hosts on Thursday night.
- Miami Dolphins are 10-3-0 ATS in their previous 13 division games
- Miami Dolphins are 11-7-0 ATS in their last 18 home games
- Buffalo Bills are 3-5-0 ATS in their previous 8 road games
- The Under has cashed in 5 of the previous 6 meetings
Head To Head
- Miami Dolphins lead the all-time series 62-58-1
- Buffalo Bills won 21-14 when the two teams last met in January 2024
Buffalo Bills Form
Buffalo entered the 2024 NFL season looking to bounce back from last season’s playoff heartache.
The Bills once again made it to the postseason, going 11-6 to win the AFC East, and they eased through the Wildcard round with a 31-17 victory over Pittsburgh.
They fell in the Divisional round though, as they once again came up short against Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs in the postseason, this time losing 27-24.
Buffalo’s response was to make some major changes in the offseason, trading away star receiver Stefon Diggs while releasing several veteran players who had played key roles in recent years.
The Bills then underwhelmed in the preseason, sandwiching a 9-3 win in Pittsburgh with a 33-6 blowout loss to Chicago and a 31-26 defeat to Carolina, with both losses coming at home.
They did make a winning start to the regular season though, beating Arizona 34-28 at home last Sunday.
Miami Dolphins Form
Miami come into the 2024 campaign looking to finally deliver in the postseason after another swift exit last time round.
The Dolphins compiled an 11-6 record in 2023, with defeats to Baltimore and Buffalo over the final two weeks costing them the AFC East title.
That meant they had to visit Kansas City in the Wildcard round, and in freezing temperatures they fell to a 26-7 defeat.
Miami’s response in the offseason was to hand new contracts to Tua Tagovailoa, Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, while on defense they will have some key figures returning from injury.
The Dolphins went 2-1 in the preseason, beating Atlanta 20-13 and Washington 13-6 at home, before wrapping things up with a 24-14 defeat in Tampa.
They then kicked off their regular season campaign with a 20-17 victory over Jacksonville last Sunday.
Verdict
Buffalo have dominated Miami for years, but the timing of this could be perfect for the Dolphins.
While Josh Allen is still under center, the Bills have lost some significant talent in the offseason, so this is a great opportunity for Miami to exorcize some demons.
