On Sunday, the Miami Dolphins will take on the Buffalo Bills at Highmark Stadium in the first round of the NFL playoffs in an effort to earn their first playoff victory since 2000. The Miami Dolphins travel north from Florida to Highmark Stadium.
Due to inclement weather earlier this season, Buffalo was forced to relocate a home game to Detroit, but it appears that the weather will remain mild for the start of the playoffs.
According to The Weather Channel, the forecast for Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park, New York, between 1 and 4 p.m. ET on Sunday is 27-28 F ( -1°C) degrees with bright sunshine and only a 2% chance of rainfall. Winds are only expected to reach 4 mph.
This year, the Dolphins have already played in chilly conditions and prevailed. The Dolphins’ loss of QB Tua Tagovailoa and RB Raheem Mostert has the biggest betting implications. Fantasy wagers and decisions shouldn’t be impacted by the weather.
The game’s announcers are Tony Romo (color analyst), and Tracy Wolfson (sideline) and Jim Nantz (play-by-play).
Miami’s offence will have their work cut out for them because Buffalo’s defence only allows 17.88 points per game.
Last week, the Bills and the New England Patriots had a 14-14 tie at the half. However, Buffalo came out strong in the second half to win 35-23. Given that New England only allowed 19.5 points per game on average during the season, Buffalo’s victory was all the more impressive.
Josh Allen, the quarterback, who completed 31 throws for 254 yards and three touchdowns, and Stefon Diggs, the wide receiver, who grabbed seven passes for one touchdown and 104 yards, are largely responsible for Buffalo’s success. Allen’s final passer score was 155.60.
In their game against the New York Jets last week, the Dolphins did not have a lot of breathing room, yet they still prevailed 11-6.
