Why Bet on the Buffalo Bills?
The Bills are off to a shaky start following a 23-16 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers last weekend. But in their losing efforts, Josh Allen stood out after he recorded 270 yards on 30 of 51 passing, including a touchdown. On the receiving end, it was Stefon Diggs who led his team with 69 yards on 9 receptions. Cole Beasley and Emmanuel Sanders combined for 112 yards and 12 receptions, while Gabriel Davis had 40 yards, 2 receptions, and the only touchdown of the unit.
Delivering numbers for the rushing side is Devin Singletary, who recorded 72 yards on 11 carries. Right behind him is Josh Allen with 44 yards on 9 carries. By the end of the game, the Bills outplayed their opponents in total yards 371 to 252 and rushing 117 to 75, but it wasn’t enough to close down the deficit.
On defense, Taron Johnson took charge with 7 solo tackles. Jordan Poyer and Micah Hyde closed the night with 6 tackles and 1 solo tackle apiece, with the former documenting a sack. Mario Addison is the other player to record a sack for this team, on top of one solo tackle.
Why Bet on the Miami Dolphins?
The Dolphins are about to face a tougher challenge as they host the Bills this Sunday. Despite falling behind in total yards 259 to 393 and rushing yards 74 to 125, Miami was able to escape with the narrow win. Tua Tagovailoa put on a show, recording 202 yards on 16 of 27 passing. On top of that, the quarterback also scored a touchdown and a crucial interception.
The duo of DeVante Parker and Jaylen Waddle combined for 142 yards and 4 receptions each, with Waddle scoring the only receiving touchdown of the game. Moreover, Myles Gaskin topped the team’s rushing with 49 yards on 9 carries and Tua added a rushing touchdown.
Defensively, Jerome Baker registered a team-high 12 tackles (8 solo). Not far behind is Eric Rowe who listed 9 tackles (6 solo). Nik Needham and Byron Jones combined for 11 tackles, and Jason McCourty and Xavien Howard finished their night with 5 tackles (1 solo) each. Overall, it was a busy night for the Dolphins. If they want to overcome the aggressive Bills offense, their defense needs to significantly step up.

Bills vs. Dolphins Expert Betting Predictions
Even though they had a slow start to the season, the Bills will come into the Miami game as favorites. The team boasts more consistency on offense and defense. Josh Allen remains the key player for the team, and we anticipate his presence to positively affect their overall performance. There’s a good chance that the Dolphins cover the spread, but stretching the game to a win is a different story. The team needs to be at their very best if they want to secure the home win. Nevertheless, we expect an exciting contest as Week 2 of the 2021 NFL season unfolds.
