Both teams better on the road than at home both straight up and against the spread. In Buffalos games the road team 7-2 against the spread and 6-3 straight up. With Miami it is 5-4 each.

Buffalo holds teams to .4 yards per play and .3 yards per pass below their normal average, as their defense is strong. Kyle Orton has added stability and good decision-making to Buffalos offense. He has a 98.4 passer rating with 10 touchdowns and just three interceptions. The Bills overall offensive numbers are not indicative because they are distorted by the horrid play of former starter EJ Manuel.

Miami Dolphins Pro Bowl left tackle Branden Albert is out, a huge loss for the Fins. Albert is one of Miamis most indispensable players. He solidified the left tackle position for the first time since Jake Long left the team, and there is no replacement close to Alberts talent level.

Buffalo saw a blueprint on how to stop Miami last week as Detroit did a good job of constantly hitting Ryan Tannehill during the read option and when passing. That took a physical toll on Tannehill. As a general rule of thumb one may think that the short week helps the home team, but Miamis signal caller could use the rest after the beating and he will be playing the second physical defense in just five days.

Look for Buffalo to keep a man on him during the read option. Futhermore Dolphins starting running back Lamar Miller slowed by sure shoulder. The Bills have won three straight over Miami by a comfortable 71-31 margin. Their defense has sacked Ryan Tannehill 13 times in those three games. Tannehills Total QBR in those three games was 15.0.
