The Sporting News

Analysis: The Bills won the first meeting 31-21 in Week 3, and the key for the Dolphins to keep this close will be forcing turnovers. Buffalo has a plus-four turnover margin in two games since their bye week with Josh Allen at the controls. Miami has three or more turnovers in three of its last four games. That's not a winning formula.

Prediction: Bills 27, Dolphins 17

    CBS Sports

    Analysis: The Bills are coming off an emotional victory over the Chiefs, while the Dolphins suffered another bad loss to the Ravens last Thursday. This could be a spot for a letdown, but the Bills have owned the Dolphins in recent years, especially Josh Allen. That won't change here as the Bills avoid a letdown. Bills big.

    Prediction: Bills 34, Dolphins 19

    Miami Dolphins On SI

    Analysis: The Dolphins pulled off a win in this spot would be among the biggest upsets of the NFL season and it's probably a stretch to predict it will happen. But this will be the first game the Dolphins play since the removal of Chris Grier as GM and the decision to keep Mike McDaniel as head coach, and we'd expect a lot of fight from the Dolphins. Because of that, they'll keep the game close. But because they're the 2025 Dolphins, they'll come up short in the end. In short, expect the same kind of outcome as the first matchup.

    Prediction: Bills 31, Dolphins 20
