When the Bills (10-6) woke up this morning they knew they needed to win tonight to win the division, while a loss could mean they would miss the playoffs entirely, unless they got help. That help came in the form of the Titans beating the Jaguars, clinching a playoff spot for Buffalo.
The Bills will look to recapture the success they had against the Dolphins in Week 4 of this season when they routed Tua and company, 48-20. Allen posted a perfect passer rating of 158.3 in that win while the Bills’ defense recorded four sacks and forced two turnovers.
And defense, particularly the pass rush, will be key in this game. The Dolphins will have to adjust their attack with Bradley Chubb’s season ending abruptly after tearing his ACL last week against the Ravens. Chubb leads the team with 11 sacks this year. The Bills are led by veteran defensive end Leonard Floyd who has 10.5 sacks but is dealing with a rib injury.
If the pass rush for these two teams can’t make an impact, then it could be off to the races for these explosive offenses. The Bills have won five of their last six games since making a switch at offensive coordinator. Meanwhile, the Dolphins have been one of the best offensive teams in football this season with wide receiver Tyreek Hill as the league leader in receiving yards.
DraftKings has the Bills as 2.5-point road favorites against the Dolphins. The over/under is 48 points.
