Buffalo Bills vs Miami Dolphins Prediction
I’m on the Bills here. I know, at a certain point, you probably have to expect the Dolphins to put up a fight and fight to keep their season alive. However, the Dolphins looked dead against Arizona and the Bills are forging ahead and creating distance between themselves and the AFC East. When the Bills usually win as well, they usually win by margin with Josh Allen under center, and I think the Bills win this one convincingly as well. Give me Buffalo.
