Buffalo Bills favored at home against Miami Dolphins in Week 17

The Buffalo Bills are the betting favorites in their Week 17 home game vs. the Miami Dolphins.

The AFC East champion Buffalo Bills (12-3) host the Miami Dolphins (10-5) Sunday in Week 17 at 1 p.m. ET. Below, we take a look at the early Dolphins-Bills betting odds and lines at BetMGM Sportsbook.

The Dolphins, who have a playoff berth on the line, are coming off a thrilling 26-25 win over the Las Vegas Raiders Saturday night. The lead changed three times in the final three minutes. After an 85-yard, tiebreaking touchdown pass from QB Derek Carr to WR Nelson Agholor gave the Raiders a 22-16 lead with 3:37 to go, Dolphins QB Ryan Fitzpatrick threw a touchdown to RB Myles Gaskins to take a 23-22 lead at the 2:55 mark. The Raiders kicked a 22-yard field goal for a 25-23 lead with 19 seconds left, but Fitzpatrick had a 34-yard pass and then the Raiders were flagged for roughing the passer, giving the Dolphins a 44-yard field-goal attempt. The kick was good and the Dolphins sneaked away with a win.

The Bills blew out the New England Patriots 38-9 Monday night. QB Josh Allen had 320 passing yards and four touchdown passes. WR Stefon Diggs was the recipient of three of the TDs in his nine receptions for 145 yards. Meanwhile, the Buffalo defense held the Patriots to 201 total yards.

Miami Dolphins massive home favorites vs. Cincinnati Bengals in Week 13

The Miami Dolphins are huge betting favorites for their Week 13 home game against the Cincinnati Bengals.

The Miami Dolphins (7-4) host the Cincinnati Bengals (2-8-1) Sunday at Hard Rock Stadium for a 1 p.m. ET kickoff. Here’s a look at the early betting odds and lines at BetMGM Sportsbook.

The Bengals gave the New York Giants all they could handle, and even had a chance to steal a victory but lost at home 19-17 in Week 12. Cincinnati’s offense struggled in its first game without rookie QB Joe Burrow, who suffered a season-ending injury in Week 11 vs. the Washington Football Team.

QB Brandon Allen started, completing 17 of 29 passes for just 136 yards and 1 touchdown with 1 interception. Allen didn’t get a lot of help from the ground game, which was missing an injured RB Joe Mixon, and only gained 40 yards on 15 carries and was kept out of the end zone.

Cincinnati’s betting records

  • Against the spread: 7-4
  • Over/Under: 5-5-1

Miami smothered the New York Jets in a 20-3 win for the second time this season, outscoring their AFC East rivals 44-3 in the two victories. Jets QB Sam Darnold was awful in his first start back from injury after a two-game hiatus. He was picked off twice, completed less than 60% of his passes (16 of 27) for 197 yards and finished with an 18.3 QBR.

The Dolphins had 12 more first downs (22-10), and held the Jets to 3 of 13 third-down conversions and 0-for-1 on fourth-down attempts. QB Ryan Fitzpatrick filled in nicely for an injured QB Tua Tagovailoa, passing for 257 yards and 2 touchdowns with no interceptions. Tagovailoa’s Week 13 status is uncertain currently.

Miami’s betting records

  • Against the spread: 8-3
  • Over/Under: 4-7

Also, Miami’s defense got trampled by a Denver ground game featuring RBs Melvin Gordon—who had two rushing touchdowns—and Phillip Lindsay that gained 189 rushing yards. The Dolphins failed to cover as 4-point road favorites and the game went Under the 46-point total.

Miami’s betting records

  • Against the spread: 7-3
  • Over/Under: 4-6

The Jets continued their losing ways at the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 11. New York lost 34-28 to the Chargers but covered as 10-point underdogs and the game went Over the 47-point total.

It was QB Joe Flacco’s second-straight start for an injured QB Sam Darnold, but Darnold reportedly has “a good shot” to start against Miami. The Jets got torched by rookie QB Justin Herbert who completed 37 of 49 passes for 366 yards with three touchdowns, no interceptions and he had a 116.5 QB Rating.

Miami Dolphins favored over host Denver Broncos in Week 11

The Denver Broncos are home underdogs in their Week 11 game against the Miami Dolphins.

The Denver Broncos (3-6) host the Miami Dolphins (6-3) in a Sunday afternoon (4:05 p.m. ET) Week 11 game at Empower Field at Mile High. Below, we take a look at the early Dolphins-Broncos Week 11 betting odds and lines at BetMGM Sportsbook.

The Dolphins defeated the Chargers, 29-21, on Sunday. The Miami defense allowed just 270 total yards in the contest and has now held opponents under 300 total yards in three games this season. The Dolphins head to Colorado on a three-game road winning streak; Miami’s lone road loss this far was on Sept. 13 at New England.

The Broncos were routed, 37-12, by the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday. Denver heads into Week 11 having yielded 30-plus points in four straight games, and at 28.2 points per game, the Broncos defense now ranks 26th in the league. The offense hasn’t helped of late and turnovers have bled into Denver being on the minus side of the field-position equation in most weeks. QB Drew Lock threw four interceptions against the Raiders, and he has now been picked off 10 times in the Broncos’ last five games.
