Who is Favored to Win?

BetMGM and other Ontario sportsbooks have the Buffalo Bills as 1 point underdogs against the Miami Dolphins in their week 2 matchup. Odds will move as we get closer to the game so we will keep these odds updated as the operators change them.

Bills Chances To Win vs Dolphins

The Buffalo Bills have had the edge over the last half a decade, having dominated the AFC East rivalry with the Miami Dolphins. The Buffalo Bills have won 10 of the last 11 games between the two sides. For them to continue with that, they'll need to keep Tyreek Hill and company off the field.

This should be an offensive-heavy game with two dynamic attacks, so ensuring Josh Allen is the one making the majority of plays will be a major key to their success. The Bills will be the underdog on the road, but it won't be by much as this is poised to be one of the best early-season games in the NFL.

The Buffalo Bills are currently a 1-point underdog at DraftKings Sportsbook and are -105 on the moneyline.

How The Bills Win vs Dolphins

The Buffalo Bills beat the Miami Dolphins by putting it on their defense. Miami's defense didn't significantly improve this offseason, and it allowed the 22nd most points per game (23.0) a year ago. The Bills scored 26.5 points per game and had the 4th-best defense. What was especially poor for the Dolphins' defense was their passing touchdowns allowed at 27, which ranked 25th in the league. If Allen and company can exploit that secondary weakness, they can come out on top in this primetime showdown.

How The Dolphins Win vs Bills

The Dolphins win against the Bills by taming their offense. History has shown that they won't be able to keep up with them offensively. In the last three games in the series in which the Bills scored at least 30, they won the game. The Dolphins' last win in the series came when they held Buffalo to under 20 points. LB Bradley Chubb and DE Calais Campbell having big games will be paramount. Since 2018, the Bills and Dolphins have played 13 times, and in those, the Dolphins have held the Bills to under 20 twice. They won both of those games. That's the key for Miami.

History of Bills Dolphins Games

This rivalry goes back to 1966 when the Bills throttled the Dolphins in the first game between the two organizations. The Bills won that game 58-24. While recent tides favor the Buffalo Bills, the Dolphins are 62-58-1 overall in the series.

All-Time Best Bills Dolphins Games

The Dolphins-Bills rivalry goes back decades, and the most important games between the two have to be in the playoffs, not the regular season, where they have met several times. The Bills are 4-1 in the playoffs against the Dolphins.

Game 1: January 17, 1993 - Bills 29, Dolphins 10

The Buffalo Bills had both a dominant and heartbreaking early 1990s. They went to four straight Super Bowls and lost all four. Jim Kelly was their fearless leader, and he went toe-to-toe with Dan Marino many times. In this game, Kelly had almost 100 fewer yards, but the Bills ran for north of 150 while the Dolphins ran for 33. Buffalo advanced to its 3rd straight Super Bowl with the win.

Game 2: January 15, 2023 - Bills 34, Dolphins 31

After talking about the early 90s, let's take a flash into the future. The Bills were the sizable favorite in this game as the Dolphins were starting Skylar Thompson. It was expected to be a blowout, but Thompson and company kept things close in the Wild Card battle. The Bills were up 14-0 at the end of the first and hope seemed lost, but Allen's two interceptions allowed them back into the game. Buffalo came out on top, but it closed out as a thrilling playoff battle.

Game 3: January 12, 1991 - Bills 44, Dolphins 34

This was the start of it all for Buffalo. While the Bills made the playoffs in the last two seasons prior, this was their first Super Bowl berth, and it was another Marino-Kelly showdown with both throwing for 3 touchdowns and over 300 yards. Two Buffalo receivers topped 120 yards, and the Dolphins, after being down 27-10, made up the ground and had it at 30-27 in the fourth quarter. While they didn't come out on top, it did prove to be a pivotal battle in the AFC East rivalry.
