Are the Dolphins Overrated

[SheriffJoe]

The spread. com shows Miami opening at -2 vs Buff. Now down to Miami -1'.

Some show the Bills opening up as the slight fav, others Miami, but it really doesn't matter...the Bills are getting hammered early.

Both Vegas and early betting showing zero respect for the "big division-leading home team." ZERO.

Oh I thought someone already posted Bills -2 in here

Miami -2 or so would make more sense

 

[Avocado33]

Everyone assumed Miami would be the clear favorite, but that would cause bettors to hammer the Bills as the dog early and often. So making Bills the fav avoids some of that sharp action.

Miami looks like a total sucker's bet as the home dog clearly in over their heads. There's no "value" there.

First place? No.

Dolphins would already be out of the playoffs with the Bills schedule.

So you're gonna bet the Bills I assume?

I'm seeing Bills -3 out there

Yea. Pinnacle has Buff -2' -118. Looks like it's heading to -3.

Not sure why anyone would take a position on this game without knowing the status of Mostert and Waddle amongst others.

Yeah, Bills are the play imo.

However, I would wait until the outcome of Pitt/Balt game before determining how strong.

Why?

 

[Avocado33]

Bills also could make it with Jags loss to Titans

 

[exploited17]

Bills is 8pm game

 

[Avocado33]

Steelers/Ravens is Saturday

As is Texans/Colts

 

[SheriffJoe]

Why?

Because teams playing for better seeding is overrated.

If they're in, they're in.

You don’t think Bills will care about being 2 seed versus 6 or 7?

I understand if it’s like the 5 vs 6 or 3 vs 4, but that seems like a significant difference

Bills would love to be in Orchard Park for a playoff game or two

 

[SheriffJoe]

You would think so, however, it's not the only factor. Being on the road, not wanting to sustain any injuries etc. means there are other variables in play. Especially this team, which has gone down to the wire in almost every game.

I think if the Bills qualify before this game, you'll see the line bounce back toward Miami again.

That said, I think the Bills are going to run the ball down their throats and wear them down like they did against the Cowboys. I don't think that soft Miami D can stop them.

If you're playing for a division title, you're all in to get that win.

Miami is pretty stout against the run

Buffalo has been struggling the run ball a bit lately

 

[Avocado33]

Think it's gonna be more of an Allen/Diggs kind of agame

The dolphins and bills played 14 of 17 common opponents

difference was:

bills played Jax, Miami played Tenn

bills played Bucs, fins played panthers.

bills played bengals, fins played ravens.

we’re NOT talking about a big difference here

 

[Knightrofins]

Thing that scares me the most is that Bradley Chubb went down yesterday. He has been a BEAST lately and he probably tore his ACL.
X Howard went down yesterday as well.

fins are pretty beat up right now. I was fine with losing to Baltimore. Wanted that 2 seed. Now they’re just not healthy.

McDaniel is an idiot . Why would he leave starters in especially in 4th quarter when your being gutted and game is out of reach?

 

[brendanjack]

Hopefully McDaniel prepares his team this week . They can beat the bills
