Bills are vying for the top of the ACFC.
The Bills have rebounded from a rough start to the 2016 season.
The Miami Dolphins are looking to do something this Sunday that they have not done all season: have a winning streak. It’s going one heck of a tough task considering they will have to beat the Buffalo Bills, a team that has dominated the Dolphins over the past 3 years. As icing on the cake, the Bills have been playing extremely well, winning 4 of their last 4 games.
The best pay per head software providers in the world opened up the Dolphins line at +3 for the Dolphins, and the line has actually come in a touch to +2.5 for the Phins. The public has been steadily sending wagers in on the Bills at almost a 4 to 1 clip. Similar to what happened last week in the Steeler game, the public is once again betting on the favorite and giving the Dolphins little second thought. Like last week though, this could be a good omen that the public gets in wrong.
In order for the Dolphins to play like they did against the Steelers, they are going to have to get another solid performance from their offensive line. They should have a decent chance of performing well, since their 5 starters should all be healthy enough to play on Sunday. If Miami can get a quality outing from them, then this will help the Dolphins offense to once again establish a running attack and give Tannehill enough time to throw the ball. The offensive line will be the key to the success of our offense against Buffalo…and for the rest of the season.
The Bills have a ton of issues stemming from a host of injuries.
On Defense, the Dolphins are going to have to focus their attention on stopping the Bills potent running attack. Rex Ryan loves to run the football, and his team is the number 1 running team in the NFL. And since he knows that Miami has struggled against the run this season, he is not going to shy away from pounding the rock early and often. So far, Lesean McCoy is still being listed as questionable, but he is expected to suit up.There is not doubt that he is less than a 100%, so that should at least take out a little air from the Bills running attack. Miami will also have to make sure they contain Tyrod Taylor, because he is very dangerous with his legs as well, and Miami has had problems in the past with running QB’s.
This is obviously such a huge game. If Miami can prevail, this will have them going into the Bye Week on a strong note and able to come out, at home against the New York Jets, healed and rested with a head of steam.
So does the Miami Dolphins News fans think that Miami will come out and play like they played against the Steelers, or will we see them play like the team that went 1-4 to start the season?
