The Miami Dolphins enjoyed back to back solid victories recently after showing former head coach Joe Philbin the door, but came back down to earth in Week 8 thanks to a 36-7 Thursday Night Football thumping at the hands of the New England Patriots.
- The Bills are 11-2 ATS in their last 13 games after consecutive losses.
- The Dolphins are 9-3 ATS in their last 12 games as road underdogs in November.
- The Bills are 3-8 ATS in their last 11 games after losing as favorites.
Interim bench boss Dan Campbell will be looking for a much better result from his team in Week 9 against another divisional rival, the Buffalo Bills. The Bills, who opened as field goal favorites at most sportsbooks, have been one of the most inconsistent teams in the NFL this season and are on a mini two-game losing streak. The good news for Bills backers is Buffalo has historically been able to bounce back at the betting window, going 11-2 ATS in their last 13 games after suffering consecutive losses.
The perennially dominant New England Patriots appear to be the class of the AFC East once again, but considering the logjam in the standings between the ‘Fins, Bills and Jets, this matchup could be a difference maker at the end of the year in the Wild Card race.
