In what could be akin to a heavyweight slugfest, the Buffalo Bills and Miami Dolphins face each other this Sunday afternoon. If the NFL betting odds are proven accurate, the visiting Bills should beat the Dolphins comfortably as they are favored by six points. However, the Dolphins have been on fire and have only lost once (10-1) since the Bills last defeated them in Week 8 of last season.
Let’s check the latest NFL odds, stats, injury reports, and NFL lines for Bills vs Dolphins. We’ve plenty of Vegas NFL odds for you to consider.
Bills: Masters of Dolphins
It’s not easy to deliver when you’re the Super Bowl favorites, but Buffalo Bills have done it in spades. They’ve destroyed their opponents and now lead the NFL in point differential at +55. Josh Allen is playing like the MVP front-runner, tying for the league lead with seven passing touchdowns and sporting a 123.7 quarterback rating.

Now, Buffalo has a shot at starting 3-0 for the second time in three seasons as they face a team they’ve owned. The Bills are 9-1 against Miami since Sean McDermott took over as coach. The only time Miami defeated Buffalo was in the 2018 season when the Bills finished 6-10.
Allen has also played well against Miami, having lost just once in eight games. He’s tossed 21 touchdowns to five interceptions. Buffalo’s pass rush can also shred Miami’s offensive line, which Pro Football Focus (PFF) ranked 23rd in the preseason. The stage is set for Buffalo to continue its dominance over Miami.
Dolphins: Rising Power of the East?
The Miami Dolphins have their share of detractors even after last week’s riveting comeback win. Tua Tagovailoa had a game for the ages as he joined the legendary Dan Marino as the only Dolphins player to have thrown for over 400 yards and five touchdowns in a single game Tagovailoa threw six and shares the league lead with seven.
Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle were unstoppable against the Ravens’ top-ranked secondary. The duo combined for 361 receiving yards and four touchdowns. Miami’s 42-point explosion was the most scored in Week 2 and the second highest of the season.
The Dolphins’ defense got chopped up against Baltimore. But if this unit can recapture its form from Week 1 – it limited New England to just seven points – and the offense can stay hot, Miami may just match Buffalo blow-for-blow. As 2-1 underdogs, they may be worth betting online.

Bills vs Dolphins Prediction
It’s difficult to pick against the Bills at this time. This is a team with an unstoppable quarterback and a hungry defense. However, Buffalo still has weaknesses that Miami can exploit. Buffalo’s running game is just average and Miami has a stout secondary that can pick off Allen, who is still prone to making mistakes.
On offense, if Tagovailoa can light up Baltimore, he can do the same to Buffalo’s thin secondary. Jordan Poyer and Micah Hyde are the top safety tandem in the NFL but the cornerbacks are thin, especially without Dane Jackson.
We may have to close our eyes for this one. But we’ll take the dog shot on the sportsbook for Miami to hand the Bills their first loss of the season.
