Joe Burrow and Caleb Williams struggle, Lions take down Rams in OT
Sports Seriously’s Mackenzie Salmon ‘overreacts’ to the biggest storylines from Week 1 of the 2024 NFL season.
Sports Seriously
It’s time for the first Amazon Prime Video “Thursday Night Football” game of the season with the Buffalo Bills (1-0) visiting the Miami Dolphins (1-0) in a divisional matchup.
Both playoff contenders, Buffalo and Miami each had a double-digit comeback win in Week 1; the Bills overcame a 14-point deficit against the Arizona Cardinals while the Dolphins beat the Jacksonville Jaguars on a game-winning field goal after trailing by 10-points. The two squads are considered the top teams in the AFC East, and the winner of this game could get the inside track on taking the division crown, something Buffalo has done for four straight seasons.

Lorenzo Reyes: Bills 23, Dolphins 20
I think the Dolphins are probably the better team here, but Miami historically struggles to defend Josh Allen, and the Bills, overall. Buffalo has won 11 of the last 12 in this matchup, including the last four, so I think this one will be close either way. That said, I could see this one going either way and think there are better plays out there.
Tyler Dragon: Dolphins 24, Bills 21
The Bills have won four in a row versus Miami (including the playoffs). Buffalo had to rally to defeat the Cardinals in Week 1. The Dolphins are coming off an emotional victory against Jacksonville. I think the Dolphins will use the overzealous cop incident with Tyreek Hill as fuel and be motivated to put on a good performance in primetime.
Richard Morin: Dolphins 24, Bills 16
Miami is galvanized. Buffalo is still searching for anyone to help Josh Allen. Take the Dolphins and the points.
Jordan Mendoza: Dolphins 30, Bills 26
Buffalo has owned Miami recently with 11 wins in their last 12 games and riding a four-game win streak against the divisional foe. But the Bills aren’t the same team and the Dolphins are poised to take over the division crown. Miami shakes off its rusty start in an offensive shootout that moves the Fins to 2-0.
