How The Model Sees It
Our rating has Buffalo Bills as the stronger side by 298 rating points, which on its own is worth about 11.9 points on the scoreboard (BUF 1,662, MIA 1,365).
Home field adds 1.4 points to MIA — a measured figure from our backtest, not the traditional three, because home advantage in the modern NFL is considerably smaller than it used to be. Rest shifts it a further -0.2 points (BUF 9 days, MIA 7).
That lands on a projected margin of -10.7, and running that through the historical spread of actual results against projections gives Buffalo Bills at 79%.
No betting line has been posted for this game yet — books typically price about three weeks ahead. Until one appears, this page shows the engine's number with nothing to compare it against, which is exactly the situation the model is most useful in.
