Based solely on the standings it would seem to be a misprint that the 5-10 Buffalo Bills are 3.5-point favorites this Sunday against the 7-8 Miami Dolphins.
Sometimes records can be deceiving.
The Dolphins enter the game with a 2-4 record in their last six games. The first win came against the Bills when Josh Allen just missed Charles Clay to win the game, while the second came on the miracle play at the end against the New England Patriots.
The Dolphins had been lucky, but last week’s 17-7 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars proved the team is not playoff-worthy in 2018.
