No team has looked better through the first two weeks of the NFL season than the Super Bowl betting favorites, the Buffalo Bills.

Now, they head to Miami to take on the Dolphins in their first divisional matchup of the season.

Meanwhile, the Dolphins also have a chance to improve to 3-0, after pulling off one of the greatest come-from-behind victories in NFL history in Week 2, downing the Ravens by a final score of 42-38.

Let's dive into the latest odds for the game, courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook.

Bills vs. Dolphins Odds, Spread, and Total Movement

The Bills opened as 4.5-point favorites on Sunday night. After their Monday Night Football game against the Titans, the line moved up two points to Bills -6.5. Since then, it was returned one point back down to Bills -5.5. The total remains at 52.5.

Bills vs. Dolphins Prediction and Best Bet

Yes, the Dolphins comeback victory was impressive, but there are still plenty of red flags that yo should be concerned about with this team. For example, the Dolphins defense ranks dead last in opponent yards per play through the first two weeks, allowing an average of 6.9 yards per opponent play.

The Bills, on the other hand, rank first in that stat, allowing teams to gain a measly 3.6 yards per play against them.

What might be even more concerning for the Dolphins, is that they're allowing teams to throw for an average of 8.7 yards per pass attempt against them, that's the worst mark in the NFL by 0.6 yards. Now, they face a Bills pass attack featuring Josh Allen and Stefon Diggs, that seems near unstoppable.

It's about time that the Dolphins fall back down to earth.
