As the Miami Dolphins continue their season-long struggles, the FanDuel odds makers do not give them much chance to right the ship against the Buffalo Bills.
The Miami Dolphins crumbled down the stretch against the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday, losing their Week 8 contest on a last-second field goal. In Week 9, the oddsmakers are not giving Miami much of a chance at righting the ship in what has become a season-long struggle. Not only are the struggling Dolphins falling completely out of the AFC playoff picture, they are now facing the Buffalo Bills, who have beaten Miami in five straight games and 14 of the last 16. This game is set up to be an ugly one for the Dolphins if something does not change.
The oddsmakers at FanDuel sportsbook do not see much change coming from Miami. Buffalo is favored by 6.5 points in the Week 9 meeting between the two clubs. Given the Bills beat the Dolphins 31-10 in Week 2 this season, that 6.5-point spread might be generous.
The Dolphins are +235 on the moneyline for the straight-up win, while the Bills are -290. The point total is 49.5, with the bookmakers seeming to believe Miami is at least capable of scoring this week now that they have quarterback Tua Tagovailoa back under center.
Can Miami pull off the upset and potentially jump start a miserable season?
