Week 4, Bills favored by 3 over Dolphins

[Gary Marangi]

Well we are going to beat them by 10 or more so its a  easy bet

[Just Jack]

The way too early weather forecast...

 

 

[MAJBobby]

The speed all over that offense is scary. 
 

McD and this defense will have their work cut out for them and need to roll with the punches. 
 

offense you need TDs not FGs. 
 

only thing that really worries me about MIA is their team speed on offense. 

[Thrivefourfive]

That is chaos. Vegas doing what it needs to collect bets on Miami. How much has a competitive NFL line moved from Sunday to game day in past? Would Buffalo -1 by game day be a lot of movement?

[Xwnyer]

McD is gonna earn his keep if he can shutdown this team.  They are better than the greatest show on turf!  Tua gets ball out fast and with the speed and motion don’t see this going well for the Bills.  Bad guys 48 Bills 24

Their defense can be had, especially on the ground

 

Run it 

[MAJBobby]

Both Mosert and Archane can house it from anywhere. 
 

Hill well we know he can house anything. 
waddle can as well

 

add in the other speed that have and it’s a scary offense. 
 

tackle well. Don’t miss tackles 

 

but IMO we are not shutting them down. This game we will just have to outscore them in a track meet. think of it as a KC game. 
 

[Scott7975]

This game will get all hype to be 100-98.  The game played will end up like 23-17 or something.

Yeah nothing about their defense scares me at all. Really ONLY thing that doesn’t have me thinking this is a two score win by Bills is all that speed they have on offense.

Fortunately they generally play teams with skill players faster than their secondary every week. They’ve jad among the slower secondaries around since the Poyer/Hyde/White era began. 
 

bills will pick and choose their moment to play man or zone, and their DLilne and Backers won’t get obliterated like you saw with Denver. Stopping the run is gonna be the key to stopping the Dolphins

Let James cook.

 

Jimmie left, jimmy right, jimmy up the middle. They can't score sitting on the bench

Is Waddle likely to play?

 

Probably.  I think he was just in concussion protocol.  He likely is cleared this week.

[mannc]

Line is now Bills -2.5

Well if they can tackle all game they will be fine. 
 

this MIA offense really is a Big Play offense and mistakes will kill you. A lot of the TDs today resulted from a Big Play or missed tackle leading to big play.

Yeah this works IF those drives end in TDs.  If they end in FGs and they can score in 1:30 doesn’t matter much. 
 

really this becomes a fundamental football game. 
 

play your assignment

make Your tackles

score TDs not FGs 

 

[unclepete]

It’ll end up a pick ‘em. Suckers bet pushing the general public to bet on dolphins

I think one of the most interesting topics this week will be how does Buffalo’s offense intend to play vs Miami?  Take the position of its gonna take 30+ points to win and try and win a shootout OR do you try to replicate what the Giants did to Buffalo in Super Bowl 25 and try to have ball control offense all day and try to limit how many possessions Miami’s offense will have. Pros and cons to whichever way we try to handle their offense. 

You outscore them. Be aggressive and look for the big plays because Buffalo will be limited in TOP if Miami sustains long drives. Each possession will be very important. 

[Aimee75]

I'm getting Bills vs Chiefs divisional vibes from this game. I hope Dorsey comes up with the gameplan of his life!

[MAJBobby]

I must say though McD has had Tuas number a bit. And the LBers of Milano and Bernard clog up those middle throwing lanes (that is where Tua wants to go). 
 

and MIA OL still isn’t good I don’t care what there fans say and think this front 4 should eat like it did today.

He was practicing on Friday in some capacity so I would guess he is going to be back.

You mean running,out of shotgun on 3rd and 2 and then on fourth and 1 trying to throw ball.  His stupidity will show big time in this game

[Fleezoid]

Washington put up 35 on Denver. So scoring points on Denver.....

Since it's a home game, that basically means Vegas has it as a tossup.

 

By game time, I expect the line to be more in Miami's favor though.

No.  The home team only gets one and half now so the line setters are guessing the public sees us as 1 and 1/2 points better.  We'll see if this line shifts and I'm going to be really interested in where the sharp money goes.

[DapperCam]

Tua can’t throw to the boundary. Clog the middle of the field, don’t give up the big play. He was Tua Turntheballovah not that long ago.

[Thrivefourfive]

You know who’s off our radar so far but I’m going to bring him up because he’s going to get exposed against Miami — JP21. With all the goings-on over the off season with our safety and that city, that’s an interesting subplot.

The question is, who on our team will post a triple-double.

Can't wait to beat the dolphins by 20+ points

Puff puff give. 

[billsbackto81]

Watch the highlights.  Miami's defense is not very good despite of all the Fangio hype.  We will obviously need to keep up offensively but this will be they're toughest opponent on defense so far this season.

Doubtful,  but possible. Their D is not very good.

I had an Italian style 12" sub that was Harder than the Dolphins

Reminds me of the Manning lead colts. 
 

the best defense is a great offense. It makes the other team 1 dimensional. 
 

Buffalo should take the ball first regardless if they win the coin toss and try to eat clock and be methodical. Keep Mia offense on the sideline.

Gin up the fear baby

 

I feed on it

Who is “ginning up fear”

 

the Dolphins are a scary offensive team. Thinking otherwise is just being ignorant. 
 

Buffalo needs to ball out this game. 
 

hopefully Miami blew their load all against the broncos though…

They're so scary offensively, they *checks notes* beat the patriots with 24 points and had to scratch out a win against the trash chargers

I like our odds at home

I say dominate top dictate how much you b allowed them to have the ball on offense.  Have Tua riding the pine for his own long term health  we owe it to him to help him attain a pleasant retirement ìn future.  

[Beck Water]

I can be ignorant about betting, but isn’t “favored by 3”  basically a pick’em with home field advantage?

Not anymore… home team is assigned less than 3 , say 1.5 as HFA isn’t as strong statistically as it once was. 

[Jerome007]

"Miami became the first team in NFL history to total 350-plus passing yards and 350-plus rushing yards in a game"

 

Crazy!

 

But... when has a Bills McD team last been blown out? Years ago. This D is for real. And the "new" offense with 10-12 play drives means the Dolphins O is on the sidelines. And let's not act like the Bills O aren't scary good as well.

They dominated that chargers game.

 

Had some snap issues which kept that game closer than it should have been.

 

I like our odds at home as well, but Miami is a damn good team right now

How do you propose they dominated that game when it took a last minute TD to win?

 

We may have different definitions of domination

Yep. But it’s not any different- or even better - than last season’s Dolphins offense. They’ll get some yards and points but nothing the bills offense can’t keep up with
