The home team is 6-2 SU and ATS in the last eight games between the Buffalo Bills and Miami Dolphins. The Dolphins hope to continue that trend and play spoiler this Sunday when they host the Bills in Miami.
Miami has followed up its shocking upset at home over New England with back-to-back road losses to Buffalo and Kansas City. But perhaps home field will make a difference for the Dolphins, who are 4-2 SU and 3-1-2 ATS in their last six home games compared to an 0-5 SU and ATS record over their last five road games.
Even after losing 37-16 to the Patriots last week to fall to 3-5 SU and ATS over their last eight games, the 8-7 SU and 7-6-2 ATS Bills are still alive in the hunt for a wild-card spot in the AFC. The path is as straightforward as securing a win over Miami and then getting help from the Cincinnati Bengals in defeating the Baltimore Ravens at home.
The total has gone OVER in each of the last five games between these two teams. The OVER is also 8-2 in Miami's last 10 games and 6-2 in Buffalo's last eight games played in December.
