Thursday Night Football Bills at Dolphins
Last Thursday night’s game between the reigning Super Bowl Champion Kansas City Chiefs and the Baltimore Ravens was an absolute delight! The game was not without a dramatic ending in which Ravens tight end Isaiah Likely caught the ball in the end zone with no time remaining that would have brought the Ravens within tying the game or going to two. Initially, the ruling on the field was a touchdown. However, the ruling was overturned and Likely was ruled out by a toe, ending the game with the Chiefs defeating the Ravens 27-20.

The Buffalo Bills made it a priority during the 2024 NFL Draft to select Coleman in the second round. In his first game as a pro, he amassed 51 yards on 4 receptions and had a great contested catch near the sideline in the fourth quarter. I expect the targets to keep coming his way as the season progresses. He is a great player if you need someone to start in a flex position in DFS.

Both starting running back De’Von Achane and back up running back Raheem Mostert were listed on the injury report following Sunday’s game against the Arizona Cardinals. Wednesday morning, head coach Mike McDaniel revealed that Raheem Mostert was ruled out of Thursday night’s division game. Achane’s availability is still in question and if he does indeed play Thursday night, it will most likely be in limited fashion and Wright will have an opportunity to shine in a split backfield.
Prop Bets
Any Time Touchdown Scorer
This is Shakir’s first season as the Bills WR1 as Stefon Diggs (HOU) and Gabe Davis (JAX) went to other teams during the offseason. He has become a reliable pass catcher for Josh Allen, and it is translating onto the football field. Last week he scored a touchdown against the Arizona Cardinals, and I expect him to do the same against the Miami Dolphins.
Any Time Touchdown Scorer
Time and time again, Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa finds Hill over the top for a long score. It seems like clockwork that happens almost every game. In a heated division game, expect the trick plays and deep ball passes to be thrown as the Dolphins will want to make a statement against the Bills. Expect Hill to score again in this matchup!
Prediction
I believe the Miami Dolphins are going to defeat the Buffalo Bills 35-28 in a high scoring game.
