An AFC East grudge match takes center stage on Thursday Night Football in Week 2 as the Miami Dolphins host the Buffalo Bills.
The Miami Dolphins are coming off their Week 1 comeback win over the Jacksonville Jaguars and immediately have to begin preparations for a Thursday Night Football meeting with the Buffalo Bills. A division rivalry game is always a tough game—add in only four days of rest, recuperation, and preparation, and it gets even tougher.
The good news for Miami is that they were at home in Week 1 and are home for this Week 2 meeting, limiting travel time. The bad news is that the Bills have won the last four meetings, including a playoff contest, and have won 13 of the last 15 meetings. This could be an early-season uphill battle for the Dolphins.
However, the oddsmakers at FanDuel sportsbook do not necessarily see it that way. They have the Dolphins favored by 2.5 points as of Monday afternoon. The line initially opened with Miami only favored by 1.5 points, so the early betting has moved the line even more in Miami’s favor.
The Dolphins are -132 on the moneyline for a straight-up win while the Bills are +112.
The point total for the game is set at 49.5.
Is that line accurate? Does it surprise you that the Bills are not favored given how well they have done against the Dolphins in recent years? Will Miami be able to cover the 2.5-point spread and come out of this game with a 2-0 start to the season? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
