The start of the Week 3 schedule in the NFL could get off to a brutal one as the Buffalo Bills, who are riding a 2-0 record, are set to host the 0-2 struggling Miami Dolphins. In the two games that these teams have played, we have seen the Bills make a comeback win against the Ravens and deliver a beatdown to the Jets. As for the Dolphins, they have lost to Daniel Jones and the Colts, as well as lost to the New England Patriots despite being in Miami.

Everything seems to be going right for Bills, while the Dolphins can’t seem to get anything figured out. Miami is inconsistent on offense, Mike McDaniel is on the hot seat early on this season, and the defense couldn’t stop a nose bleed. They are being cornered and having to go on the road into Buffalo on a short week is destined for disaster for them.

At the same time, we have seen this setup before. A struggling team who faces all kinds of pressure, all of a sudden turns things around against a team that is feeling great about themselves.

Bills are looking at a trap game vs. Dolphins in Week 3

Over the past two games, the Bills have shown their resilience and flat out dominance. As for the Dolphins, they have been flat out embarrassing. You would think that this matchup between Buffalo and Miami would be a piece of cake game for the Bills, especially given the fact that the Dolphins have only beat the Bills twice since 2018.

These are the kind of games that teams have to be kind of worried about. The Bills are having a weak opponent come into their home stadium, riding a two-game losing streak and looking completely lost. Miami has shown that they are no match for Buffalo in the past.

While everything seems right for Buffalo on paper, all that matters is what happens on the field. The Bills are clearly the better team and are set up better than the Dolphins. Yet, if they don’t come into this game prepared and they let Miami stay in this game, we could witness a huge upset.
