The Buffalo Bills and Miami Dolphins are slated to play in the NFL’s top time slot in Week 18.
The Bills (10-6) visit the Dolphins (11-5) in their season finale. The winner will be named the 2023 AFC East champion.
Because of what’s on the line, the league decided to place the clash on Sunday Night Football in Week 18. Buckle up.
Even with that pressure and all eyes on both teams, oddsmakers are still going with Buffalo over Miami.
According to sportsbooks including BetMGM, the Bills are three-point road favorites against the Dolphins in Week 18. The Bills are winners of four straight and the Dolphins were crushed by the Baltimore Ravens last weekend.
The first time these two divisional foes faced off in Week 4, Buffalo won 48-20. In addition, Miami was an underdog then by three points… but that game was played in Orchard Park.
That outing clearly saw the Bills cover easily. They hit the over on the points total too, despite it being set at a massive 53.5 that week.
Regarding the upcoming matchup, the points total is set at 49.5.
While that’s the way Week 4 went, the season overall has gone differently for these two teams. Against the spread, Miami is 10-6 in 2023. Buffalo’s ATS is only 6-9-1. Similarly, the Dolphins are 9-6 against point totals, meanwhile, the Bills are only 6-10.
Two teams that mirror each other in the standings but couldn’t be more different among oddsmakers.
At the time of posting, the moneyline sits at Bills (-165) and Dolphins (+140).
