We have an AFC East matchup on Friday morning as the Bills look to go 3-0 when they host the struggling win-less Dolphins. Here are my same game multi tips for this massive divisional clash.
Miami Dolphins (0-2) at Buffalo Bills (2-0)
After a crazy 41-40 comeback win over the Ravens in Week 1, the Bills continued the momentum into New York as they smashed the Jets 30-10. QB Josh Allen has racked up 542 passing yards in his 2 games (7th). James Cook has been a beast on the ground, ranking 4th in the NFL for rushing yards and equal 1st for rushing TDs. The Dolphins are 0-2 and will be desperate. They were pathetic in Week 1 against the Colts (lost 33-8) before a better showing in their home opener, still doing down 33-27 against the Pats.
Leg #1 - James Cook Anytime Touchdown Scorer
Going back to last season, James Cook is on a 7 game streak of scoring a TD against a team from the AFC, like the Dolphins. This season alone, he's totalled 176 yards on 34 carries at an average of 5.2 yards per carry. Last week, he torched the Jets for 132 yards and 2 rushing TDs. Miami are near the bottom of the league in rushing yards allowed (25th) as they allowed 139 rushing yards per game. So I think Cook will get plenty of chances to punch it in again.
Leg #2 - Josh Allen 2+ Touchdown Passes
Bills QB Josh Allen absolutely loves playing against the Fins, which is a bit of an understatement. He has a 14-1 record of throwing for 2+ touchdowns in his last 15 against them. That's Tom Brady level of dominance. Last week, the Dolphins gave up 2 TDs to Drake Maye and Allen could go beast mode.
Leg #3 - Under 50.5
Some good trends say that this divisional clash will go Under 50.5 pts. Buffalo have an impressive 7-0 Unders record in Friday games and their defence is only allowing 124 passing yards per game, easily the best in the NFL. They come off allowing just 10 pts against New York and Miami haven't set the world on fire in terms of scoring pts. They rank 25th in the NFL, scoring 17.5 pts per game. Miami also has a 5-1 Unders record in road games and the short week probably won't help them improve their offence.

James Cook Anytime Touchdown Scorer / Josh Allen 2+ Touchdown Passes / Under 50.5 = $6.25
Value Leg - Khalil Shakir 50+ Receiving Yards
Shakir had a quiet one last week as he wasn't really needed, but I expect a bounce back at home. He loves playing in Buffalo, having gone over 60 receiving yards in his last 3 home games. In Week 1 against the Ravens, he finished with 64 yards, so 50+ looks very achievable against a vulnerable Dolphins secondary.
