NFL picks: Experts predict Dolphins vs. Bills in Week 2
Beating the Buffalo Bills has been a tall task for the Miami Dolphins. In each of their last four games against the division rival -- including a January 2023 playoff game -- the Bills have come out on top.
Miami has given up at least 31 points in nine of its last 12 games against Buffalo, and the Dolphins haven't scored more than 31 against the Bills in the last 15 matchups. Yet it's the Dolphins that enter a pivotal Thursday meeting as slight favorites to get a win against the back-to-back-to-back-to-back AFC East champs.
But do the experts agree with the oddsmakers? Here’s what the pundits are predicting will happen Thursday in primetime:
