Miami Dolphins NFL Week 2 Odds
With the divorce of coach Bill Belichick and quarterback Tom Brady the New England Patriots were considered more vulnerable than ever heading into the 2020 season. The Buffalo Bills were considered the top threat to the Patriots AFC East dynasty as the season began. But the Miami Dolphins were also considered a potential dark horse threat for the AFC East title. Last week the Dolphins had a golden opportunity to show they were ready but failed miserably in an opening day loss to The Hoodie and his new favorite quarterback Cam Newton. Now the discredited Dolphins will limp home to face a good Buffalo team that is coming off its second playoff season in three years.

Miami Dolphins Week 2 Matchup
On Sunday, September 20 the Miami Dolphins will host the Buffalo Bills at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida. Kickoff time is set for 1 p.m. ET and television coverage will be provided by CBS. This rivalry dates back to the American Football League and 1966 when the Dolphins joined the AFL East as an expansion team. Buffalo and Miami have shared the same division ever since that year. This will be the home opener for the Dolphins.
Last week was an impressive 27-17 win and cover for the Buffalo Bills as a 6.5-point favorite with the game gaming over the total of 39.5. The highly touted Buffalo defense showed well to ground the Jets sputtering attack. Buffalo held a 31-15 first down advantage to go with 404-254 in total yards superiority. Buffalo controlled the ball for a staggering 41:16 time of possession. By the 6:48 mark of the second quarter the Bills were up 21-0 and went on from there. Buffalo quarterback Josh Allen showed well with 33 of 46 passing good for 312 yards and two touchdowns with a passer rating of 104.6. Buffalo flashed the look of a team ready to challenge New England for the top spot in the AFC East.
As a road chalk the Bills are 10-6 against the spread. Buffalo has gone over the total in seven of their last 10 in that role. Buffalo has covered five of their last seven on the road against AFC East teams. Five of their last nine away matchups against AFC East rivals cleared the total.
Miami has been in the black as a home dog with eight payouts in their last 14 games. Eight of their last 11 as home pups went over the total. The Dolphins are a profitable 8-4-1 on the board at home against AFC East Division rivals. Five of their last eight in that situation have gone under the total.
Miami has gotten the money in five of their last eight home games against the Bills. Three of their last five at home against Buffalo went over the total. In the last six overall head to head meetings Buffalo has covered four times. Eight of the last 10 between these teams went over.
Miami Dolphins Week 1 Recap
Last Sunday was a stark reality check for both the Miami Dolphins and any AFC East hopefuls that have dreams of unseating the New England Patriots. Miami suffered a 21-11 defeat as 7.5 point away dogs. That game stayed under the total of 41.5. Patriots quarterback Cam Newton brings an element to the New England offense that Brady could not offer. Newton led the Pats with 75 yards rushing on 15 carries with two touchdowns. He was highly efficient in the air as well with 15 of 19 passing good for 155 yards and a 100.7 rating. New England outgained the Dolphins 357-269 with a 29-20 first down advantage. Miami turned the ball over three times as New England had a 34:49 time of possession. Dolphins quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick was putrid throwing three interceptions with a 44.6 passer rating. Of course, this has triggered Miami fans to scream even louder for 2020 first round draft pick Tua Tagovailoa to take over under center.
