LINE: Miami by 2.5

CHEWABLES: History is on Buffalo’s side. Bills have won 13 of the last 15 meetings and five of their last seven visits to Miami. Josh Allen has a 10-2 career mark, with 33 TD passes and seven picks, in 12 games against the Dolphins. Tua Tagovailoa has just one win in seven games against Buffalo while throwing six TD passes and seven interceptions … The Bills had to recover from a 17-3 second-quarter deficit to defeat the Cardinals 34-28 in Week 1. Allen was good, throwing just five incompletions on 23 passes for 232 yards while connecting for two aerial scores and not turning the ball over. He also scored twice while rushing for 39 yards on nine carries. But Allen suffered a injury to his non-throwing wrist late in the game and who knows how much it’s bothering him. It probably won’t hurt the Bills as much as the forearm injury that will keep cornerback Taron Johnson from playing in the already depleted Buffalo secondary … In case you’ve forgotten, a depleted secondary is not what you want for a game against the Fish. Last week, in leading his team to a 20-17 victory after Jacksonville jumped into a 14-0 lead, Tagovailoa was good on 23-of-37 for 338 yards, including seven completions for 130 yards to Tyreek Hill and five completions for 109 yards to Jaylen Waddle … Still getting acquainted with his new receivers, Allen will have a more difficult time finding success than he did against a sub-par Arizona secondary. The Dolphins pass defence presents a much tougher challenge, and Jalen Ramsey will want to make an impact against a divisional foe to remind everyone he’s worth every penny of his hefty contract extension. Miami snubs history in this one.
