Even though Saturday night’s Bills vs Dolphins matchup is huge in terms of the AFC East standings, the weather is what is really taking center stage as upwards of five inches of Lake Effect snow is expected to fall leading up to the game. The Dolphins just left 75 degree temperatures in South Beach, are they going to be up for this contest?
Before Betting on Dolphins vs Bills
The weather kind of robs us of what looked like on paper a matchup of two quick strike offenses that both rank in the top 6 in passing yards. Officials will do their best to get the field cleared prior to and during the game, but it’s going to be hard to get traction in the cold and snow. Then again Miami enjoyed their own home field advantage when the teams met on a 90 degree day in week 3 when the Dolphins eked out a 21-19 win over a completely gassed Bills squad.
Aside from home field advantage which Buffalo has every game in front of the Bills Mafia, Saturday night’s game looks like it will come down to who has the better defense and running game. Statistically the Bills have the edge in both of those categories.

Dolphins vs Bills Prediction & Pick
This game is a bit difficult to handicap not just because of the weather, but because we don’t know how the weather will affect either team. It’s hard enough to defend Tyreek Hill on a standard surface for example, and now when he has defenders sliding all over one move and he could be gone. With everybody playing the ‘under’ in this snowy night, it’s a great opportunity for a contrarian ‘over’ wager.
Pick: Over 43.5
