We are just over 24 hours from kickoff in Orchard Park between the Buffalo Bills and Miami Dolphins to start the Week 3 schedule. It’s the Bills’ second consecutive AFC East battle, coming off a 30-10 win over the New York Jets. Meanwhile, the Dolphins lost to the New England Patriots after a late 4th quarter failed comeback.

Buffalo and Miami meet for the first time this season. The Dolphins haven’t beaten the Bills since 2022, and have only beaten the Bills twice since 2018. Long story short, Buffalo has had Miami’s number for a long time and they will continue to do so as long as Josh Allen is in his prime and under center for the Bills.

While things are going great for Buffalo, we can’t say the same thing about the Dolphins. Head coach Mike McDaniel is on the hot seat and Tua Tagovailoa has proven that he can’t win much outside of September/early October. The Dolphins don’t do well once the weather starts to change.

Miami has a horrendous defense that has arguably the worst secondary in the league. In addition, they are dealing with injuries across the offensive line per Tom Pelissero.

Score prediction for Bills vs. Dolphins

These two teams are very familiar with each other. They have a ton of history but recently, the Bills have been the one making the right kind by beating the Dolphins repeatedly over the last few years. Buffalo is in a better spot and is set up for another Super Bowl run.


As for Miami, they have a better chance at getting the No. 1 overall pick in next year’s draft than making the playoffs. As Week 3 kicks off tomorrow night, fans should expect to see the Bills go 3-0 and win their second primetime game in two weeks.

Score Prediction: Bills def. Dolphins, 42-14
