Week 8 NFL Betting – Buffalo Bills vs. Miami Dolphins
The Buffalo Bills travel to Miami to take on a Dolphins team that has lost two games in a row. Buffalo should be favored heavily in this game as they have been absolutely brilliant so far this season. There’s something about this team that online NFL betting fans have to appreciate.
They may not blow teams out but they have a good defense and a quarterback that doesn’t make mistakes. Also, Marshawn Lynch is becoming one of the best running backs in the league. If online betting fans like to put money on the BetUS NFL future bets like who leads the league in rushing, who will win MVP, etc., Lynch might be the guy to take a swing on. He looked great against that San Diego defense last Sunday.
The Dolphins wildcat offense isn’t a surprise to anybody any more. The Baltimore Ravens shut them down with ease. What was more disturbing about that game was how the Dolphins defense made rookie quarterback Joe Flacco look like a veritable pro-bowler. BetUS Sportsbook wagering fans had better think twice about putting money on the Dolphins.
Here are the BetUS online NFL odds for this game:
Kick-off: 10/26/2008 1:00 pm est.
Buffalo Bills – 2 ½ – 110 – 125 O 42 ½
Miami Dolphins + 2 ½ – 110 + 105 U 42 ½
Here are a few online wagering trends that might help us find a good online bet in this game:
The Buffalo Bills are 5 and 2 against the spread in their last 7 games overall.
The Buffalo Bills are 39-18-3 against the spread versus a team with a losing record.
The Miami Dolphins are 4 and 1 against the spread versus a team with a winning record.
The Over is 7 and 0 in the Miami Dolphins last 7 games following a straight-up loss.
The online wagering trends tell us that the Dolphins and Bills should come to play in this game. That has to be the reason that the Dolphins are only 2 ½ point underdogs in this thing.
I mean, the Buffalo Bills are 5 and 1 on the season. They are playing like the second best team in the AFC after the Tennessee Titans. I see the Bills winning the AFC East and maybe making it all of the way to the AFC Conference Championship.
But from an online sportsbook wagering point-of-view, I sort of have to go with the Dolphins in this one. I actually like Miami to upset the Bills straight-up at + 105.
The reason is that Buffalo is coming off of a hard fought, intense, important game against the San Diego Chargers. They could very well have a mental let down in this game against the Dolphins.
The Dolphins aren’t a terrible team. Ronnie Brown should find some holes to exploit in that Bills’ defense.
NFL Week 8 Prediction:
I’ll make an online bet on the Miami Dolphins to win this game straight-up at + 105.
