Miami came out with its “wildcat” offense a few weeks ago, with smashing success. But last week that wildcat was tamed against the Baltimore Ravens, as Miami managed only 71 yards on the ground. Sure, Chad Pennington threw for 288 yards, but remember that Pennington is rather limited in terms of his range, and there is talk of giving Chad Henne a little playing time. Look, when you think about it, Miami has to work rather hard to get its points. The Dolphins are averaging 17.4 yards per point scored, which is relatively poor.
The Dolphins also have a long way to go when it comes to defending the pass. Miami has allowed 235 yards a game, and made Joe Flacco, the Baltimore rookie, look like an All-Pro, with a 17-for-23 afternoon, 232 yards and ten yards an attempt. Trent Edwards should have a similar level of success, and until more help arrives in the draft, capable passers will continue to feast on the Dolphin D. One can not discount the strength of Buffalo’s special teams either.
The technical trends favor Buffalo by a wide margin. The Bills have won seven of the last eight, and have covered each of the last eight. Miami has also lost ten of its last 12 at home, We’re going to lay a point with Buffalo in the BetUS NFL football betting odds.
