Nothing like waiting at your gate on a Wednesday night. I’m traveling for business tonight and missing my wife, my dog, the cats, and Thursday Night Football. The NFL is magical, ain’t it? Bills play their annual September away game in Miami. Seems fair right?
Anyways I’m missing the damn game tomorrow and I don’t have time to write out all my picks for Sunday’s slate, so while I wait to board this flight let’s get right into it shall we?
Thursday Night, Bills @ Fins: Bills +2, Over 49
Look, am I stupid for picking the Bills in Miami? Definitely. But the margin of victory for the last 15 matchups has been at least 3 or more points. Usually a lot more than 3. So whoever I pick here is winning the game. Both teams started sloppy this past Sunday but the Bills managed to put up 34 points in a come from behind victory and staved off a frisky Cardinals team. Miami barely managed to beat a Jags team which gave them all the opportunities on earth to comeback and win on a game sealing field goal. Both defenses leave much to be desired in this match up but clearly the Bills figured themselves out offensively and laid it on thick. Miami’s defense is by far much worse off than last year. Sliding doors, if Miami doesn’t strip the ball from Etienne in the end zone the game is likely 24-7 with about only 2 minutes left in the 3rd quarter. That was probably the back breaking play either way. Miami was lucky to escape that game. I expect the Bills to win in South Florida by at least three.
