Buffalo Bills vs. Miami Dolphins 2017: Preview, odds and prediction for Week 17

‘The Bills should win this game without much trouble. Fans in Buffalo have come to expect the worst, but the Bills match up well against the Dolphins, who have little reason to be up for this game. Expect Tyrod Taylor to have another solid outing, while the Bills defense should harass Cutler throughout the afternoon.’

Four things to OBSERVE: Buffalo at Miami

‘Buffalo owns the title … the one it never wanted. Out of the four major sports, the Bills have the longest active drought, 17 years, of not making the playoffs. For 2017 to be the year that snaps the streak, Buffalo needs to defeat Miami on the road and get some help from other teams.’

Joe B: 5 things to watch for in Buffalo Bills vs. Miami Dolphins (12/30/17)

However, I don’t think they’ll have to worry about the Bills being up for this game. They know the stakes, and I think we’re going to see a big effort from them on Sunday.’

Bills Today: Buffalo’s starting safety duo leads NFL in INTs

‘“We both feed off of each other’s energy levels. When one of us makes a play, the other one wants to make the next play. We’re almost competing with ourselves, we’re not looking at the rest of the league,” said Poyer. “We believe in our room that we are the best safety duo in the league. Everybody else is going to say otherwise, but between him and I, we believe that’s us.”’

Pollock: Sunday will be tense afternoon for Bills fans

‘”My impression of a lot of guys has changed once you get to know someone, in terms of building a relationship,” the coach said. “Like I said, he’s one of the big leaders for our football team. It’s changed just because of getting to know him, but for really no other reason that that.”‘
