TNF - Bills / Dolphins....

@vanzack

 Im a Bill's fan and agree with you. Im not playing this game. But the Bill's defense is pretty bad in my opinion. Last year decimated by injuries. This year they lost some of the key players and milano is down again. They are just weak all over on defense. 

I actually like the offense better this year though. I think there's more of a system there and pieces that fit the system w the rushing attack and less wild and inconsistent gunslinging. Next year with acquisitions on defense the Bills can be a contender again.

Too many people loving the Bills in this game. We will see if its justified. Who knows, nothing would surprise me. Even with the weak defense I wouldnt be surpised if Buffalo shows up with an inspired 30-20 effort, or if its a close game for either side or Miami blows them out 34-17. 

Are y'all smoking crack in what world is any NFL team having trouble getting up to play a division rival? especially the only other team in the division that is any good 

It's a very important game for both teams and it's only week 2.

I really think this comes down to cheetah. If he goes all in receiving, rushing and screen Miami should win. The intangible is the Miami injuries in the back field. No play for me. Best of luck to all that do.

@vanzack 

What do you make of the total? Seems like over would be the obvious play and a lot of people seem to be on that side, yet the total has dropped to 48.

GL.  

I lean pretty hard the same way.   Not worried about RB’s both possibly out either…..their backups are both decent   One a workhorse the other explosive   

I generally avoid TNF, but Miami under -3 looks good to me.

Hey Vanzack 

Mostert is out, and De'Von Achane is GTD(even if he plays, Jeff Wilson Jr. and Jaylen Wright will take touches away from him). and Bills are good at eliminating big plays. Most importantly Dolphins D is really banged up so I'm leaning towards Bills ML. 

There aren't many RBs in the NFL that are worth even a half point. In this case, no measurable impact for me.

Week 2 TNF games past 4 years have been between divisional teams with the home winning 4-0 and trending over. Buffalo secondary is vulnerable and weren’t put to the test last week. I’m thinking Miami gets their revenge here also like the 2nd quarter total over 13.5. BOL 

Spot on VanZack.

If you allow me to take things a bit further for this game in particular...

If we look no further than the Niners and Jets matchup this past weekend, we would see that the Niners not having CMC available didn't hamper them one bit. Kyle Shanahan's scheme did all the work for them, with a backup running back that I can't even name right now.

Where does Mike McDaniel come from? Kyle Shanahan's tree. As San Fran's run game coordinator for 4 years, and OC for 1 year before getting the gig in Miami. 

I think the Dolphins run game is in good hands.

Would it be fair to say that 80% of the players that payed week 18 are still on the teams?

Me am mee

Home team advantage 

Tua more healthy as Allen got a hand issue. 

GL van and all covers brothers.

GL tonight van

This seems to be the right side...I'm on the over

And you are right about previous instances not having any relevance to today's outcome...all variables are different....this is why you have a yacht and the rest of us are just working on one

ugh

dolphins look mediocre on both sides of the ball this first half

hopefully they make 2nd half adjustments 

One of those games where everything is going wrong for one team and it'll eventually turn. Dolphins are the better team

@marauder22

 If the Fins are the better team why are they losing 24-7? 

Wellllllllll

They aren't, Buffalo and Allen specifically has owned the Phins and he's a much better QB than Tua

I guess when a team is 11-1 in its last 12 u go the other way?
