Miami Dolphins vs Buffalo Bills Preview, Betting Odds, and Predictions for the 2025-26 NFL Season Week 3<\/h2>

The Miami Dolphins take a trip up north as they take on their AFC East divisional opponents, the Buffalo Bills. Both teams head into this matchup in contrasting fashion. Buffalo has started the season strong with 2 wins, while Miami has taken the opposite route, losing both of theirs. <\/p>

We will find out what this game has in store for us on Thursday Night Football (TNF<\/a>) as both teams get ready to kick off week 3 action. <\/p>

Analysis and Rationale<\/h2>

Taking the Bills’ running back James Cook as an anytime touchdown scorer seems like a good idea. If we look at his past 18 games, Cook has 19 rushing touchdowns. In 16 regular season games last year, he led the league with 16 touchdowns on the ground, and so far this season, he already has 3 from 2 games. <\/p>

Josh Allen’s 2+ passing touchdowns also seem very much achievable given the form he is currently in. Moreover, the biggest factor to consider here is how well Allen has played against the Dolphins in his career. In 14 games, he has already thrown 37 touchdowns. <\/p>

Taking the Bills to win in this game seems like a no-brainer. Both teams are at opposite ends of the spectrum in terms of their quality and execution. Furthermore, it is a home game for Buffalo, and that too on a short week. And to make matters worse for Miami, the Bills are 12-2 against them with Allen under center. <\/p>

#Dolphins<\/a> QB Tua Tagovailoa on Josh Allen:

\"That dude can do literally anything he wants. Definitely different skill set for me. I can’t do half of what he does.\"
