It\u2019s familiar territory for Buffalo since quarterback Josh Allen took the NFL by storm back in 2019. In pulling off the most unlikely comeback against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 1 and thoroughly dismantling the New York Jets in Week 2, the Bills enter Week 3 as heavy favorites for their Thursday Night Football date with the Miami Dolphins.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">As of publishing, the Bills were listed as 12.5-point (-12.5) favorites over the woe-begotten Dolphins. It\u2019s first versus last in the AFC East, where an undefeated Buffalo team must remain focused if they hope to keep Miami winless.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Despite their basement residency, the Dolphins came to life on offense against the New England Patriots this past weekend, but they couldn\u2019t find the defensive resolve to exit with a win on their home field. Now, they\u2019ll have plan for a Bills offense that\u2019s shown capable of scoring points at will \u2014 and one that\u2019s also proven more physical than in recent seasons.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">This is the first of two Thursday night games for the Bills in 2025, and they\u2019ll face a Dolphins team given equal time to prepare. During short weeks of this nature, it\u2019s paramount to pay close attention to the injury reports in the days ahead. Josh Allen suffered a nose injury in New Jersey, but it only kept him out for a few plays. Linebacker Matt Milano is the other new name to the injury report, where he reportedly suffered a pectoral injury against the Jets.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Think you\u2019ve got what it takes to make a play on the Buffalo Bills this season?
