Dolphins vs Bills Props – Best Team and Player Prop Bets
- The 10-5 Miami Dolphins face the 12-3 Buffalo Bills in an NFL game slated for Saturday
- Current record: 23-23, +1.05 units won
- The best prop wagers to play out of this tilt are listed below
On the surface, it might seem like the Miami Dolphins have much more to play for on Sunday than the Buffalo Bills.
The 10-5 Dolphins require a win to lock up an AFC Wild Card playoff position. The 12-3 Bills already have clinched the AFC East title.
However, with a win Buffalo is assured of the #2 seed in the AFC. That would mean at least two home playoff games, as well as avoiding a showdown with the defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs until the AFC Championship Game.
Bills head coach Sean McDermott is assuring everyone that he’ll be playing his starters in order to get the victory. That’s vital information entering Week 17 play when some playoff teams have already indicated that they’ll rest key starters.
The Bills are 3-point home favorites for the game with a 1pm EST kickoff. Check out our updated injury reports, as well as other betting options. Let’s start with the lines for player props.

Odds as of January 2
Prop #1: Bills Will Hold Tua In Check
Buffalo is the NFL’s #8-ranked pass defense. The Bills have held opponents to 222.8 yards per game through the air.
The past two weeks, Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa was held to 145 yards passing by the New England Patriots (#7 NFL pass defense) and to 94 yards by the Las Vegas Raiders (#25 NFL pass defense).
Brian Flores with good answer asked about sticking with Tua Tagovailoa. He says Tua has brought a spark/played well in a lot of other games & he doesn't make decisions based on one play/quarter. He adds everyone wants to make QB decisions for them without all the info they have.

On top of that, the rookie Miami QB is nursing a banged up left thumb. He’s a southpaw, so that damaged digit could impact his grip and ability to throw the football.
Tagovailoa has passed for more than 195.5 yards just three times in nine games. The Buffalo defense will make it three for 10.
Pick: Tua Tagovailoa under 195.5 passing yards (-112), 1 unit.
Prop #2: It Will Be Time For Davis To Shine
Cole Beasley (leg) is out for the Bills. Stefon Diggs is nursing a sore foot and his playing time figures to be limited. John Brown, just back in action after a stint on IR from an ankle injury.
Sunday is going to be Gabriel Davis day in Buffalo. The rookie wideout has caught 33 passes for 492 yards and six touchdowns.

He’s gone over 3.5 receptions in only three games, but he should do that for fun on Sunday.
Pick: Gabriel Davis over 3.5 receptions (-112), 1 unit.

Running back Myles Gaskin is holding the hot hand for the Dolphins of late in terms of breaking the plane. He’s scored all six of his TDs this season over Miami’s past five games.
Gaskin is proven as verstaile as he is productive when it comes to finding paydirt. He’s run for two TDs, and caught passes to score the other four times.
- Dawson Knox first TD scorer +1800, 1 unit
- Myles Gaskin anytime TD scorer +115, 1 unit.
