The AFC East playoff race heats up in cold and snowy Buffalo this weekend, as the Dolphins (8-5) take on the Bills (10-3) at Highmark Stadium. Miami will look to rebound from a rough Sunday Night Football lo s to the Chargers last week, while the Bills will be aiming for their fifth consecutive victory. We have all the odds, tips, trends, storylines, and predictions to get you ready for this ma sive divisional clash.Miami got off to a rough start under the bright Sunday night lights in Week 14, struggling mightily to move the ball. Lead back Jeff Wilson Jr. (hip) and Tyreek Hill (ankle) both got banged up in the lo s, but the real story was Tua Tagovailoa's continued struggles. He completed just 35.7 percent of his pa ses, which was down from 54.6 percent the week before.WEEK 15 NFL PICKS: | Buffalo, meanwhile, outlasted the Jets 20-12 Todd Frazier Jersey despite Allen finishing with fewer than 150 pa sing yards for the first time this season. The Bills managed just 14 first downs, converting on just two-of-13 third-down opportunities. Buffalo's defense also allowed New York's on-again, off-again breakout Mike White to net 268 pa sing yards. All told, Gang Green went eight-of-17 on third downs and totaled 19 first downs.MORE NFL:Let's dive into the odds for this AFC East showdown, check out the all-time series stats, discu s some trends and storylines, and ultimately make our betting prediction. Spread:Bills -7(-110); Dolphins +7(-110 Jose Reyes Jersey )Total:OVER 43.5(-110); UNDER 43.5(-110)Moneyline:Bills -350; Dolphins +270Looking at , Buffalo opened at -7.5 on the lookahead line, then moved down to -6.5 on Thursday, Dec. 8 only to shoot back up after Miami lost to L.A. and suffered the Hill and Wilson Jr. injuries. The over/under, which opened at 48, started dipping at the start of this week and gradually moved down to 43.5, likely as a reaction to a snowstorm that's expected to hit Buffalo on Saturday. That's the lowest projected total either team has seen all year. While Miami leads the all-time series 62-54-1, the Bills have won seven of the past eight meetings and nine of the past 11. Chase Edmonds, who has since faded into obscurity after being traded to Denver, scored two rushing TDs in a 21-19 Miami win over Buffalo in late September. Before that game, the Bills had outscored the 'Phins 275-144 in the Josh Allen era. Buffalo has gone 3-1 against the spread as a home favorite this season, and Miami has gone 1-2 ATS as an away underdog. Bills' games have gone OVER just three times this season. Buffalo's past two games also against AFC East foes -- each went under 35 points. Miami has scored 17 points in each of its past two lo ses. Incredibly, the Dolphins have also finished each of those games with 14 first downs while allowing 24 first downs.MORE WEEK 15 NFL: Can Tua and friends break out of their midseason funk?Miami's offensive slump comes as a surprise to anyone who witne sed these same David Wright Jersey Dolphins defeat Buffalo, Baltimore, and New England to start the season. The stagnant nature of Miami's drop-backs against the Chargers on Sunday night raised the question "What's wrong with Tua?" Without Tyreek Hill's electric playmaking, the 'Phins might have suffered one of the worst lo ses of the season. Things could be even worse if Jeff Wilson Jr. (hip) can't suit up this weekend. Mike McDaniel's offense clearly suffers when the RPO fails to operate smoothly. If Miami can't open up downfield pa sing routes against Buffalo's mediocre pa s defense, people will start to seriously wonder if the Dolphins' Super Bowl aspirations are critically endangered. A cold, snowy forecast doesn't figure to help the boys from Miami either.Can Miami slow down Allen and the Bills in Buffalo?Miami has also encountered some recent i sues on the defensive side of the ball, which should have Allen and top pa s-catchers Stefon Diggs, Gabe Davis, Dawson Knox, and Isaiah McKenzie licking their chops. The Dolphins allowed Justin Herbert and the Chargers to rack up 350 pa sing yards last weekend, and they have surrendered a whopping 783 total yards over their past two lo ses. Even worse, they have surrendered over 387 total yards per road game this season. Their inability to win the turnover margin has hurt them, too. Miami has failed to force Dwight Gooden Jersey a turnover in seven games this season, going 3-4 in those contests. The Bills are 3-0 when committing zero turnovers.Will Buffalo return to dominance in a get-right home game?The Bills looked stellar early in the season, but they started coming back to Earth when Allen suffered an elbow injury in Week 9. Suddenly, the deep ball wasn't nearly as much of a factor in Buffalo's games, and red-zone turnovers started rearing their head more and more. Maybe a date with these Dolphins, who have allowed the 10th-most pa sing yards and 11th-most pa sing TDs, will be just what the doctor ordered. At home this season, the Bills have averaged 280.4 pa sing yards (fourth most) and 2.4 pa sing TDs (second most). Weather i sues could force the Bills to run more, but it's not as if they haven't played in cold and snowy conditions before. 1-5.That's Miami's record when it fails to reach 20 first downs. The Dolphins failed to surpa s even 17 first downs in those six games. Buffalo, meanwhile, has held five opponents to fewer than 20 first downs. The Bills have also allowed just six percent of pa s attempts to go for "explosive plays," which ties them with the Eagles for the NFL's best rate. Buffalo should be thanking its lucky stars for the timing of this AFC East tilt. Miami has struggled defensively, especially on the road, and the Dolphins have key offensive difference-makers Hill and Wilson Jr. banged up. Those factors, combined with the weather and Buffalo's succe s at home, lead me to believe the Lenny Dykstra Jersey Bills will win this game handily.PREDICTION: Bills 30, Dolphins 20. Buffalo wins and covers (-7), and the game easily goes OVER (43.5).
