Fearless Freddie’s Football Forecast
The biggest question about the Buffalo versus Miami game tonight in Orchard Park is which defense will show up for the Bills.
Will it be the one that struggled on opening night against the impressive Baltimore Ravens or the group that shut down the deplorable New York Jets this past Sunday?
The thought here is the latter and that will easily translate into the team’s third victory of the season.
The Bills have a high rate of success when playing in night games and have dominated the winless Dolphins in recent years with Josh Allen in control of the offense.
A huge loss to the Bills just might signal the end of Coach Mike McDaniel’s tenure in Miami.
FREDDIE sees it this way:
BILLS 33, Dolphins 24
