PALM BEACH POST PREDICTIONS
The greatest concern is Bills running back LeSean McCoy. He has the ability to make Kiko Alonso, Lawrence Timmons and Chase
Allen look silly. And T.J. McDonald and Reshad Jones. But Tyrod Tay
lor and Kelvin Benjamin are recovering from knee injuries, so Matt Burke can design his entire plan around stopping McCoy. Miami needs to run to win and should be able to keep Kenyan Drake hot in the cold. Dolphins 21, Bills 20
These teams are headed in opposite directions. The Bills
started 5-2 and have been plummeting since, while the Dolphins are coming off an enormous win over New England. In Miami’s quest to nab the final playoff berth, this is one of the teams it needs to overtake. Unless the weather goes haywire,
look for the Dolphins to win comfortably and keep the dream alive.

The Bills haven’t had a quality win
since Oct. 29 against the Raiders. The Dolphins haven’t beaten a good team since ... oh yeah, a few days ago. Problem is, the only
thing more unpredictable than the Dolphins is the Buffalo weather. So I’m going to call
this one for Miami largely based on how well Adam Gase led this team in the stretch run to the playoffs in 2016.

I’d feel a lot better about this if Nathan Peterman was starting at quarterback for Buffalo. This Tyrod Taylor guy turns into Aaron Rodgers whenever he plays the Dol
phins. That plus a Bills pass rush
that sacked Tom Brady three times on a dry field two weeks ago has me, as they say, feeling queasy.
