Top Week 9 NFL picks

After diving into every game on the Week 9 NFL schedule, the model is backing the Buffalo Bills (-6, 49) to beat the Miami Dolphins, 31-20, at home. The Bills have dominated this AFC East rivalry in recent years, winning nine of the last 10 meetings against the Dolphins. These two teams squared off on Sept. 12, with Buffalo cruising to a 31-10 victory on the road. 

Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa threw three interceptions in that matchup, while Bills QB Josh Allen completed 13 of 19 passes for 139 yards and a touchdown. Allen and the Bills are averaging 28.8 points per game this season, which ranks fifth in the NFL. Miami, meanwhile, is averaging just 13.9 points per game, which ranks dead-last in the league. SportsLine's model is projecting Allen will throw for 227 yards and two touchdowns, while Buffalo's defense records three sacks and an interception on average.
