Buffalo Bills at Miami Dolphins
Are we going to get the Miami team that beat the Steelers and played the Seahawks close, or the one that we've seen the rest of the season? I give the Dolphins credit for that Steelers win, as it was in the game even...
Line went from 18 1/2 down to 7 1/2 for the game, Marshall favored? Why the large drop? Suspended the whole team? HUH?
Marshall up by 7 at the half, should end up talked about on Sports Center this week. LOL!!
A couple situations come into play this weekend
Philly/Minny, former QB traded from the dog in this one, lowest total on the board at 40.
Houston/Denver, former QB signing free-agent gig away vs old team
Pittsburgh without Big Ben, Steelers record not at all that bad.
