Bills @ Dolphins Tips - 10/1 Bet Builder for Thursday Night Football
I’ve compiled my tips for the Bills @ Dolphins game and opted to go with a bet builder, as the odds for individual selections are quite low.
By combining the picks into a bet builder, the odds are 10/1, which offers good value with three selections included.
De’Von Achane Anytime TD
Starting off the bet, it’s worth noting that the weather forecast for Thursday night looks hot and wet, which I believe will lead to more emphasis on the running game than usual. This brings me to my first pick.
Miami has a crowded backfield, but I think De’Von Achane is the one who can really stand out in this game. He had a strong showing in Week 1, even managing to score a touchdown.
While his 10 carries for 24 yards on Sunday may not seem impressive, it was a game where the Dolphins relied heavily on passing, something I don’t expect them to do as much this time.
I’m backing Achane to get plenty of touches and find the end zone.
James Cook Anytime TD
For the second pick, we turn to the other side of the ball, backing another running back—James Cook—who’s also expected to have a strong performance.
Cook had an impressive Week 1, racking up 71 yards on the ground from 19 carries, along with 32 yards through the air from three catches.
With Josh Allen still adjusting to his new group of receivers, I expect the Bills to rely heavily on Cook.
Considering the expected weather conditions, Cook is likely to see plenty of action, and I’m backing him to find the end zone as well.
Under 52.5 Points
After selecting two touchdown scorers, it might seem unusual to go with a points pick under the line, but the line is quite high, and the predicted weather plays a significant role in my decision.
Both quarterbacks are capable passers, but they might not have much opportunity to showcase that in these conditions.
I anticipate a lot of running plays, which will keep the clock moving and limit the number of explosive moments. Both teams are likely to play conservatively and avoid giving up easy points.
To exceed this line, we’d need at least six touchdowns plus additional field goals, or possibly even seven touchdowns and field goals. Given the circumstances, this seems like a tall order, so I’m comfortable going under the line with 52 points or fewer in the game.
