The 2024 NFL regular season got off to a terrific start in Week 1, and we’ve got plenty of more football to enjoy this week. Starting things off, we’ll have a Thursday Night Football marquee matchup between a pair of AFC East foes as the Buffalo Bills and Miami Dolphins. These teams shared a memorable Week 18 game a season ago and this installment should be a good one, as both teams are once again expected to be among the better squads in the AFC.
Let’s dive into my Bills vs Dolphins Same Game Parlay for the festivities, which get underway at 8:20 pm ET on Amazon Prime. Also, be sure to check out our NFL picks for EVERY Week 2 matchup.'
Part of the value in a Same Game Parlay, of course, is that all of its components don’t need to be correlated if you so choose. That is the entire plan here, as Jeff Wilson finding the end zone doesn’t necessarily work well with a Bills victory. Let's break down each of the 3 legs.
Buffalo Bills ML (+120)
While I can see the case for taking the Dolphins at home in this spot, I love the value that we’re getting on Buffalo on Thursday. The numbers for Josh Allen are staggering against Miami in his career, winning 6 out of 7 games against Tua Tagovailoa while averaging 291 passing yards, a passer rating of 108.5 and posting a 19-4 touchdown to interception ratio in those contests. Furthermore, while both teams did rally from double digit deficits to win in Week 1, the Bills were completely dominant from midway through the second quarter onwards, with the only touchdown they surrendered in the second half coming on a kickoff return. On the other hand, Miami needed to punch out a fumble at the goal line and score 13 unanswered points in the final quarter-plus to knock off a Jacksonville team that continues to invent new ways to lose close games.
