The Buffalo Bills are set to face off against the Miami Dolphins in a highly-anticipated AFC East matchup on Sunday, with the Bills looking to extend their seven-game winning streak against their division rivals. The Bills have dominated the Dolphins in recent years, with a 62-61-1 all-time series record. However, the Dolphins have been struggling to contain the Bills' high-powered offense, led by quarterback Josh Allen. Allen has been in top form this season, completing 23 of 26 passes in the Bills' last game to set a franchise record for completion percentage. He has also been turnover-free in his last outing, a feat he's achieved five times this season. The Bills' rushing attack, led by running back James Cook, has been one of the most potent in the league, averaging 161.5 yards per game. The Dolphins, on the other hand, have struggled to stop the run, allowing 145.6 yards per game. The Bills are also bolstered by the return of wide receiver Josh Palmer, who is listed as questionable after missing two games. However, the team is thin along the defensive line, with several key players out due to injury. The Dolphins, meanwhile, are struggling to find consistency, with a minus-8 turnover differential that ranks among the worst in the league. They are also dealing with several injuries, including to cornerback Rasul Douglas and safety Ifeatu Melifonwu. Despite their struggles, the Dolphins have a strong history in the month of November, with an 8-3 record since Mike McDaniel took over as head coach in 2022. However, they will need to contain Allen and the Bills' high-powered offense if they hope to snap their seven-game losing streak to Buffalo. The game is set to kick off at 1 p.m. EST on CBS, with the Bills favored by 9.5 points. The Bills' 5-0 record when Cook tops 100 yards rushing and 6-0 when he tops 100 yards from scrimmage this season will be a major factor in their chances of extending their winning streak.
