Final Score Prediction
Similar to last week, this is a divisional rival that the Buffalo Bills cannot take lightly if they want to come out of Miami with a victory. Additionally, the Bills will have the disadvantage of playing this away game in Miami with the presence of fans. Unlike the Bills, the Dolphins will be allowed to have a maximum capacity of 13,000 fans in attendance for this Week 2 matchup at Hard Rock Stadium.
With Milano and Edmunds ruled out, this game is a bit more difficult to predict. Normally, this Bills defense would be expected to shut down this Dolphins offense for the most part. However, Milano and Edmunds are a big part of the pass defense and their importance is emphasized this week against Dolphins tight end Mike Gesicki.
The Buffalo Bills will have a number of options but expect Jordan Poyer to take on some extra responsibility for Gesicki in man coverage situations, although he will be at a size disadvantage.
Due to these lingering injuries, expect the Dolphins to get the better of this Buffalo defense on a couple of drives. The final score prediction of this Week 2 matchup is for the Bills to beat the Dolphins 30-20 pushing the Buffalo Bills to 2-0 on the year as well as 2-0 against the AFC East.
Final Score Prediction: Bills win 30-20
