buffalo comes off a deflating all out effort against a tennessee, score late, look to tie, and a "shady" call prevents it on a 2 pt conversion.
after facing miami they get to look forward to going to new england.(classic flat spot).
there has been 5 games of this series played in buffalo in december since 81, point totals of these games as follows..59,39,59,43 and 38.
miami looked great on monday night,they just happened to be playing one of the best teams in the league.
although miami is horrific in thier final road games of the year going 1-11 ats last 12 years and just as terrible in final divisional road games,1-8-1 ats last 10 years, they bounce back from thier usual december swoon and cover the game.
in the series the team who covered the first game, covered the second 8 of the last 9 years.
once again bledsoe will be a sitting duck to the pash rush while trying to throw against one of the best secondaries in the league.

Winky, this is probably my favorite game on this weekend's card. Miami D was on their heels all game last week because of McNabb's mobility. Bledsoe is a sitting duck in the posket, and the turf will actually help Miami's very quick front 7. Moulds is no longer a deep threat with the groin pull, and Miami DB's should lock down the passing game. Miami better on the road where there is less pressure.
Miami is not being given much respect here against this Buffalo team that is that is sub .500 on the season. Miami doesn´t do much winning on the road in December when it is cold but this is the kind of game in which they will surprise you and win. I think the Dolphins will benefit from having played in the cold two weeks ago at New England. It won´t be so much of shock when they take the field for this one. The Dolphins´ defense was embarrassed last week and I really expect that unit to come up with a strong effort in this game to spearhead the win. A year ago, Miami had a a great offensive game in the snow without the services of Jay Fiedler. I think they have another strong offensive game and actually play some defense this time.
Buffalo had a two game win streak ended last week against Tennessee and have been playing well lately. However, I don´t think they deserve the roll of favorites in this game as they have not been a good team this season. I see Drew Bledsoe being a sitting duck in the pocket and the Bills don´t have a legitimate running game to keep Miami honest. I would have liked the Bills here as a dog of three or more but as favorites, I will have to go with the Dolphins.
