Both Buffalo Bills and Miami Dolphins made an amazing comeback win in Week 1. The Dolphins managed to beat the Jacksonville Jaguars starring a field goal after trailing by 10 points. Meanwhile, the Bills overcame a 14-point deficit against the Arizona Cardinals. Talking about AFC East both the squads have a formidable unit.
The winner of this game can potentially take the division crown. Buffalo has been a dominant team winning for four straight seasons. Both these teams suffered lacklustre home starts to their 2024 seasons. Miami trailed Jacksonville 14-0 in the second quarter of Week 1, while Buffalo fell behind 17-7 to the upstart Cardinals. However, both squads made a strong comeback in the next week.
For the Bills, Josh Allen starred with QB runs. For the 'Fins, it was Jevon Holland forcing a huge fumble and Tyreek Hill taking an 80-yard catch-and-run to the house.

Who Should You Bet in the Match?
When considering betting on the Dolphins against the spread versus the Bills, the Dolphins seem like a promising option if the spread is around 2.5 points. Both teams had their share of early struggles but showed improvements in Week 1. However, Miami appeared to resolve more of its issues by the end of the game. Despite the injuries to running backs De'Von Achane and Raheem Mostert, Miami's offensive firepower remains substantial.
In their recent match, the Dolphins managed to secure a win against a strong Jacksonville team even with both Achane and Mostert sidelined for part of the game. Coach Mike McDaniel now has the opportunity to plan with either or both running backs potentially limited or absent.
Additionally, Miami faced a disruption when Tyreek Hill was detained during a traffic stop shortly before the game. This incident likely caused some distraction for Hill and the team early on in their Week 1 matchup. Given these factors, the Dolphins' performance and preparation suggest they could be a solid choice against the spread.
According to Dimers’ famous predictive analytics model, the Dolphins are more likely to beat the Bills at Hard Rock Stadium. This prediction is based on the model giving the Dolphins a 53% chance of winning the game.
