Bills vs. Dolphins prediction, odds and picks - October 31, 2021 | NFL Week 8

Buffalo Bills v Miami Dolphins

The Buffalo Bills will host the Miami Dolphins in Week 8 in what is expected to be the most lopsided game this Sunday.

The Dolphins have lost six on the trot since their Week 1 win over the New England Patriots and don't have much left to play for this season. Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa could be playing his last game for the Dolphins, as reports have strongly suggested that Miami wants to acquire Deshaun Watson from the Houston Texans.

The Bills are coming off a surprise defeat at the hands of the Tennessee Titans and will look to get back to winning ways in Week 8. The two teams have already met once this year. Buffalo blanked the Dolphins 35-0 in Week 2, which started a Miami free fall that they haven't been able to contain since.

Bills vs. Dolphins betting picks

The Bills have already shown this season that they can be ruthless and relentless on offense. Through six games, they have failed to score in only three out of 18 quarters. Expect the home team to cover the spread with ease.

Emmanuel Sanders' impact on the Bills offense has been growing with every passing game. The Bills' WR2 could have easily been a WR1 had it not been for Stefon Diggs. He's yet to have a 100-yard game for the Bills but came close in Week 6 against the Titans with 91. He's likely to have the first 100-yard game for the Bills on Sunday.
