Buffalo would be a slight favorite on a neutral sight and 3 point favorite at home. Rule of thumb 2.5 points to the home team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not at the table Karlos Posted September 9 Share Posted September 9 7 hours ago, Neo said: Roll Call! Who’s going? I’ll be there with MrsNeo and one NeoEtte. Joining my sister and brother-in-law down from Buffalo. Joining some local friends who are life long Dolphin fans and restaurant servers who are very good to us. Staying in Lauderdale at the Marriott. Fresh swag. Represent! I’ll be there. Think we’re in one of the corners up top. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast Posted September 9 Share Posted September 9 In my mind there is no doubt the Bills are the better of these two teams but I am not feeling good about this game. Hope I’m wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A full point the morning after the line opens, likely is just sheer betting volume Any new injury would be more change or news would have leaked by now In other news I expect Jackson or cline to be pulled up from the practice squad for this game Edited September 9 by Cheektowaga Chad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope I’m wrong. The Bills have Allen and Rousseau, the Dolphins have Hill. No other player on either team is a difference maker, at least not on a consistent basis. So the Bills are better. In fact, they'd be better even if Rousseau were JAG. That's how good Allen is. He could take the Chicago Bears to the playoffs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was nothing about the two teams' games yesterday that would have moved the spread, other than a possible injury to Josh Allen's hand.

Jax has everyone covered pretty well here and the wife beater just outruns everyone. Hamlin angles to the ball is what scares me.

Mat68 Posted September 9 Share Posted September 9 20 minutes ago, mannc said: You didn’t answer my question…why would the line move a full point this morning? Preseason perception. If you have the Bills missing the playoffs you think they lose this game. If you have Miami winning the division you have Miami winning this week. National perception is still in Miamis favor.

Solomon Grundy Posted September 9 Share Posted September 9 1 hour ago, mannc said: The Bills' secondary was fine yesterday. What did Murray throw for, 150 yards? That's not moving the line. I would guess that Vegas was looking for some sort of "he'll be fine" announcement from the Bills this morning, and it hasn't happened. Obviously, that's a lot different than "Josh is out", which of course would cause the line to move drastically.

Solomon Grundy Posted September 9 Share Posted September 9 46 minutes ago, Success said: I felt like the safety unit was the weakest on the team yesterday. Have they said anything about Bishop? Is there any chance of him starting? Or Mike Edwards!! I'll take his experience over Bishop. Especially playing against Hill/Waddle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based off the blitz Murray was going short then moved away from the blitz and Harrison. Defenders reacted to Murray which made Harrison more open than ways.

ColoradoBills Posted September 9 Share Posted September 9 (edited) Currently the weather is showing rain in the afternoon all the way until game time. Clouds with rain should cool the stadium down vs having it blazing sun all afternoon. Game time temperature of 84 degrees. Hot and muggy no doubt but the players should be okay.
