The Dolphins are 11-5, and the Bills are 10-6, and their meeting on Sunday night is in Miami, yet Buffalo is the betting favourite.
The Bills are favoured by 2.5 to 3 points in the Sunday night finale, which will determine the AFC East title and the No. 2 seed in the playoffs.
That should come as no surprise. The Bills have been one of the most inconsistent teams in the NFL this season, but when they’re on, they’re one of the league’s elite teams. And the Bills were at their best the previous time they faced the Dolphins, thumping them 48-20 on October 1.
In reality, the Bills are regarded favourably in gaming circles.
The Dolphins may take some added motivation from the fact that they are underdogs, but Vegas has basically had them pegged: The Dolphins have been underdogs five times this season, going 1-4 straight up in those contests.
