Dolphins vs. Bills Betting Insights
Reasons The Dolphins Can Cover The Spread
This is a lot of points for a team that, until two straight losses, was in serious contention to win the AFC East. Yes, they have lost the last two games, and their offense has faltered, but it’s still more than a touchdown in division against a Bills team that hasn’t exactly lit the world on fire recently.
The Dolphins still have the No. 1 DVOA passing offense for the season and in a snowy Buffalo, the offense’s advantage of knowing where they want to go might give the Dolphins’ speed a lot of advantages.
Why The Bills can cover the spread
Since Week 11, the Dolphins have had the deepest Average Depth of Target in the league, which has led to some of their offensive woes. With the Bills having a top 12 Pressure Rate while blitzing in the bottom 10 of the league, the Bills should be able to disrupt Tua as he goes for these deep passes, like the Niners did two weeks ago.
On the other side of the ball, Josh Allen and the offense hasn’t been incredible by any means recently, but Allen’s ability to extend drives with his legs will be crucial, especially if the snow and wind limit passing.
Reasons to bet the over
The Bills always have the ability to score in bunches, and have shown their ability to do so even in snowy conditions, like last year’s playoff game against the Patriots. If the Dolphins can adjust their offense back to a more quick passing, higher completion %, shorter air yards approach, they will be able to get their good receivers in space and make plays.
With both teams’ abilities to score big play touchdowns, that would also help speed the game up.
Reasons to bet the under
The Dolphins could continue to run a route tree that’s not conducive to their success, and if the winds are up there could be a slower, more methodical approach to scoring drives. If the deep passes are off the table because of the weather, then this could be an easy under.
Dolphins vs. Bills Props: Matchups To Watch For
Josh Allen Rushing Yards: Allen has broken 40 yards rushing in 3 of his last five games and he has been willing to run through contact when the passing game hasn’t been there. If the Bills are going to potentially have to throw less this week because of a windy Ralph, then Allen is likely going to pick up some of that slack with his legs.
Final Thoughts
The Bills should be favoured in this game, but this line is too high.
The problem is that this line is too high because the Dolphins have been shown up the last two weeks. First against the Niners, and then on Sunday Night Football against the Chargers, their offense has looked incredibly mediocre. It’s a fair concern, but it’s also probably a market low for the Dolphins.
For the Bills, they’ve recovered from their back-to-back losses with 4 straight wins, and are back to a state where the market expects big things from them. Not unreasonably, but they failed to cover big spreads against the Lions and the Jets.
For the Dolphins, the tweak to their offense seems pretty easy to diagnose – their propensity for long passes is leaving them in too many 2nd and longs. Get a more balanced passing game back and they can be the offense they were. Mike McDaniels managed to make Tua look like a good Quarterback earlier in the year, and assuming it was just a fluke seems like a bad bet.
At some point, it’s more than a touchdown in division with two teams with similar records. It’s too big of a number given the Bills aren’t dropping 35 with regularity. Best of luck betting the Dolphins Bills spread.
