ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. [WKBW] — For the first time since 1993, the Bills [4-1] are 17 point favorites as they welcome the winless [0-5] Miami Dolphins into town. Coincidentally, the last time the Bills were favored by such a wide-margin they lost. But will they have the same trouble on Sunday? Our staff gives their thoughts:

Does the 17-point spread say more about the Bills or the Dolphins? While the logical answer is both, personally, I think it says more about how bad the Dolphins have been. They are allowing 36 points per game and can't produce any consistent offense. With an injury-plagued offensive line, the Bills should have success rushing the quarterback.
All that said, 17 points is a huge margin. If on Monday the Bills win by 16 points will anyone really think they underachieved? While I think the Bills will get the win, I also have a hunch it'll be closer than most of us think.

No explanation necessary... mostly because I’m
on vacation and typing this from Western Michigan.
So, enjoy this one Bills Mafia. I know all of my extended family (die-hard Bills fans) will. Pretty sure they’re looking forward to welcoming my new brother-in-law to the family. Did I mention he happens to work for the Dolphins?
