The Miami Dolphins have been left for dead. The gamblers this week aren't paying them any mind it seems.
The line on this upcoming game has moved from Bills -9 to -10. Remember, the Bills are the road team here.
The recreational book Bovada has moved this one down to 9.5 off the 10, which makes one question whether books do have an opinion on Miami covering here. We here at Gambling911.com aren't reading to omuch into this early on however.
This game is the second most wagered NFL match after Thursday night's game early on, and it's all Bills money.
James Cook ran for a career-high 216 yards and two touchdowns, Josh Allen accounted for three scores and the Bills returned from their bye with a resounding 40-9 win over the Carolina Panthers two weeks ago.
Allen improved to 8-0 following the bye week and established an NFL record by becoming the first player to run and throw for a touchdown in 46 games, breaking the mark previously held by former Panthers QB Cam Newton.
“I think it's the way that our guys handle (the bye),” Allen said. “Just making sure that we're practicing the right way. Coming off two losses it's been lingering with us, so we wanted to come out and put our best foot forward — and we did that.”
They followed up that performance with a 28-21 victory over mighty Kansas City.
Allen completed 23-of-26 passes for 273 yards and a touchdown, adding 19 rushing yards and two touchdowns on the ground.
Then there is Miami.
Tua Tagovailoa, who completed 25 of 40 passes for 261 yards with an interception, led the Dolphins 80 yards down the field early in the fourth against the Baltimore Ravens. But receiver Malik Washington fumbled at the 10, and Dolphins fans began to exit Hard Rock Stadium en masse with more than 10 minutes remaining.
“You want to dictate the terms. You want to fix stuff,” Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel said. “That sucks. All of that does. But it's a pretty consistent formula of — fans enjoy winning. Our expectation is that we have to do that work and do the right things for fans to enjoy the experience. Unfortunately we didn't do that tonight, so we've got to get back to work to give them something to cheer about.”
The Dolphins lost 28-6.
