I'm still sticking with Buffalo. Buffalo took away Tua's first read and had a man up top to double Hill. Held him to 1 reception. Miami couldn't handle the pressure that Buf put on Tua. Buffalo can score on Miami. Game 2 will determine the division.

Buffalo is very inconsistent. They've been pretty shitty the last couple weeks - deserved to lose against a bad Giants team at home in a bounce back spot. Got bailed out by some officiating.

Second half of the schedule tough too. That game may not end up mattering

Good points and you may be right that the game doesn't matter. Head to head, I'd take Buffalo because of the matchup. To win the division, I'd take Miami.

Who knows? They're a solid team.

O-line is EXCEEDING expectations
Tua (when healthy) is looking very good
Defense hasnt been that great. Another problem is that they have a quick strike offense so they'll be on the field alot.
They have wins over the giants, broncos, and panthers at home. In all of those games, the weather affected the visiting teams in the 2nd half (usually does in Sep/Oct)

The major key for this team is to stay healthy and have a little bit of luck (we could say that for 90% of the league).

Jalen Ramsey will be back in November and December. Achane will be back in November. They arent rushing people to come back from injuries so soon. They want to be the last team standing in February. I dont think they care if they are a 1 seed or a 7 seed. They just want to be healthy going into the playoffs (of course a bye and home playoff games would be nice).

Of course i'm rooting for them to win on Sunday but its not the end of the world if they dont. Also not the end of the world if they get blown out either. That way, the media wont hype em so much as they did after they scored 70 on them and Buffalo took em out the next week.

Yea, good to see you back, Fins. You've got a hot team this year. We need to hear your local perspective.

Dolphins are a great over team right now. Not very good on defense but offense is lights out. Once they get their shit together on D, watch out!

Who knows what the Bills defense looks like in 3 months. Already lost best LB Milano to a broken leg and best CB White to a torn achilles, safeties are old. McDermott schemes it up well but these guys keep dying every year. Who knows if Miller stays healthy either, defenders at that age basically 50/50 to do so.

That team they had flying around vs Miami a few Sundays ago looked as good as any NFL team I've seen vs top comp in awhile but NFL = Not For Long

I bet Bills +165 to win division before that game, figured should be able to do something with it later in the year

Health issues aside, that's classic Bills though

They're gonna romp some people. They seem to be very good when they can get an early lead and front run

Then they play like they did Sunday night. 0 points into the 4th quarter against a fringe-NFL team. They were very fortunate to win

They will probably lead the league in point differential or be close to it with SF, then promptly lose in the Divisional Round to someone they outperformed in the regular season

And this is a "get it done" year as they have some financial decisions looming.

Dolphins offense scored 10 points last night.

They beat up on bad teams and don't show up against Bills and Eagles.

I don't see them as a legitimate threat.

The only team that stands above the rest this year us KC.

2023 Philly has not looked like 2022 Philly.

SF is solid, but they lost to da bares. SF needs CMD

Many of the best records have played easier schedules

Besides KC, maybe Baltimore

SF loss to Browns isn't that bad. Browns good defense and bad spot for 49ers
They lost to the Bears and Broncos last year but were still top 3 team maybe the best team if they didn't have Purdy go down.
KC lost to the Colts last year who are worse than the Browns with PJ Walker. Browns may be better with Walker than Watson

Browns arguably better with Walker, Giants with Taylor and Bears with Bagent.

Watson and Daniel Jones contracts are probably the worst 2 in the entire league.

Giants and Browns kinda screwed with those contracts. Just like Russell Wilson. I like when guys like Walker find some success. Would rather he be the starter anyways. Jones I might give another year even though I doubt he is any good. But young enough it is worth it since Taylor isn't winning anything anyways. But those contracts for all 3....ouch if you wanna move on.

Every team is flawed

Dolphins can win the division and will have a shot to go far

Even KC has some flaws. They’re pretty uneven offensively, but their defense has improved . And they’re the defending champs

In 2 weeks Dolphins play at KC. I think they are gonna win. Great matchup for them.KC will end up with home advatage either way unless Mahomes gets injured as their tough games are at home they have a better D and easier schedule.
I think Dolphins need home advatage to make the SB
KC doesn't but it is big.
Dolphins a tough home team.
Maybe it gets a little less advantageous as the weather isn't as hot as early in the year. I don't know

That game is in Germany I believe

But yes I think it’s a good match up, just hard to predict the international games

Either will welcome home field. Mahomes hasn’t played a playoff road game yet, which is kind of absurd if you think about it
