"This looks like a nightmare in Orchard Park. Buffalo leads the league in offense. The Dolphins defense has been scored on in 13 of 15 possessions that weren't kneel downs. Buffalo is at home, where they seem unbeatable. The Dolphins haven't won there since 2016. Josh Allen has torn up the Dolphins for years and there's no reason to think he won't again on Thursday night."
"I'm going with the same score as last year's first meeting between these teams, which was at Hard Rock Stadium. The Bills are 6-1 against coach Mike McDaniel, on a six-game winning streak, and are 4-0 at Highmark Stadium while scoring at least 30 points in each game. Josh Allen will outplay Tua Tagovailoa once again and Sean McDermott will outcoach McDaniel once again as both trends continue."
"It's already enough bad news when a team has to travel on a short week. It gets worse when said team is 0-2 after dropping a home opener to the Patriots, whom the Dolphins hadn't lost to at home since 2020, and have to go into a building where they haven't won since 2016, a run of nine consecutive defeats at Buffalo. The Bills own the Dolphins, and now wouldn't be the time to think otherwise."
Buffalo is a heavy 12.5-point favorite with multiple forecasts projecting the Bills to score in the 30s against Miami. Buffalo leads the league in offense and has been dominant at Highmark Stadium, posting at least 30 points in each home game. Josh Allen has consistently outplayed Miami and poses a major challenge for the Dolphins. Miami's defense has allowed scores on most non-kneel possessions and the team has not won in Buffalo since 2016. The Dolphins enter 0-2 after a home-opener loss and face the added difficulty of short-week travel, increasing the risk of a lopsided result and pressure on the coaching staff.
