The Miami Dolphins will travel to Highmark Stadium on Sunday afternoon to take on the Buffalo Bills in an AFC East matchup. The Dolphins are last with a 1-6 record and are coming off a 30-28 home loss against the Atlanta Falcons. Tua Tagovailoa is 32-of-40 for 291 yards with four touchdowns and a pair of interceptions.
The Bills are leading the AFC East with a 4-2 record and are coming off a 34-31 road loss against the Tennessee Titans. Josh Allen went 35-of-47 for 353 yards with three touchdowns and an interception.
TE Stepping Up
The Miami Dolphins throw the ball well, and tight end Mike Gesicki has been playing well. So far this season, he has 37 receptions for 427 yards (11.5 yards per catch) with two touchdowns.
In his last game against the Atlanta Falcons, Gesicki finished with seven receptions on eight targets for 85 yards (12.1 yards per catch) and a touchdown. If he can continue to be a threat, it will help Miami get going.
The Miami Dolphins are struggling defensively this season as they are allowing 29.6 points per game. In their previous game against the Atlanta Falcons, they gave up 30 points on 397 total yards of offense (325 passing, 72 rushing).
They need to improve on third down getting stops as Atlanta finished 6-of -13 on third down attempts. If they can kill drives, they will be in a better spot.
Diggs I Do That?
The Buffalo Bills are one of the best offensive teams, and having someone like wide receiver Stefon Diggs helps. So far this season, he has 37 receptions for 463 yards (12.5 yards per catch) and a pair of touchdowns.
In his last game against the Tennessee Titans, Diggs finished with nine catches on 11 targets for 89 yards (9.9 yards per reception) and a touchdown catch. If he can figure out how to remain a factor in the offense, it will really help the franchise out.
The Buffalo Bills have been one of the best defensive teams this season as they are giving up 16.3 points per game. In their last game against the Tennessee Titans, they allowed 34 points on 362 total yards of offense (216 passing, 146 rushing).
They need to limit the amount of big plays as the Titans averaged 7.1 yards of offense per play. If the Bills can figure out how to dominate here, they will be one of the best teams in the National Football League.
Who to Bet on Bills at Dolphins?
The Miami Dolphins have been one of the most disappointing franchises this season as their defense has been atrocious thus far after needing to be one of their strengths.
The Dolphins have been struggling to cover the spread this season as they are 2-5 ATS while the Bills are 4-2 ATS so far. Josh Allen should dominate here at home.
The Dolphins are just 2-7 ATS in their last nine road games against the Bills. All in all, go with the Buffalo Bills to win at home and cover at home by multiple touchdowns.
