Miami Dolphins vs Buffalo Bills Betting Picks & Predictions

Game outlook

Miami is on the road playing Buffalo at the Highmark Stadium stadium on Saturday, 12/17/2022 @ 8:15pm EST. Buffalo -6.5 was the opening favorite and current line is Buffalo -7.

Miami handed the Bills their first loss of the season, 21-19 in Miami on Sept. 25 as a four-point underdog, but Miami's offense has stalled in recent weeks and inclement weather could favor the Bills at home tonight. Buffalo had won seven straight head-to-head matchups before the loss in September, and Buffalo is 4-3-1 ATS in the last eight meetings.

Those Dolphins are just one game behind the Bills in first place with the tiebreaker on their side if they win on Saturday. After losing to the 49ers 33-17 and the Chargers 23-17, Miami will play its third straight road game. They are now 3-4 straight up and 2-5 against the spread on the road.

The Miami quarterback Tua Tagovailoa averages 277.9 passing yards per game, but he struggled tremendously in Sunday's loss to the Chargers. Tua went 10 for 28 passing with one touchdown and rushed for 28 yards. The 35.7% completion rate was his worst in a game in which he threw at least five passes. Tua has thrown 22 touchdowns and five interceptions this season and is second in the NFL with 73.5 QBR, but he has put up his worst team performances in the last two weeks.

With a power ranking of 14, Miami is ranked #8 in offense (scoring an average of 24.92 per game), #26 in defense (allowing an average of 24.08 points to be scored against them per game) and are 8-5 (6-7 ATS) this season.
