An AFC East Week 9 matchup between middling squads Miami Dolphins (3-4) and Buffalo Bills (3-4) is scheduled at the Ralph Wilson Stadium on November 8th, Sunday as the 2015 NFL season continues. Both teams are coming off nasty defeats and they hope to have the perfect bounce-back win against each other.
The Dolphins were shredded into pieces by the New England Patriots, 36-7, on October 29 at the Gillette Stadium as Tom Brady picked them apart with four touchdown passes, as reported by CBS Sports.
Ryan Tannehill could not answer on offense as he did not make any touchdown passes. He also had two interceptions and was sacked five times in a very unproductive performance.
Coming off a bye week, the Bills are looking to recover from their heartbreaking 34-31 loss in England to the Jacksonville Jaguars during their Week 7 affair, as per ESPN.
Second-string quarterback EJ Manuel almost led Buffalo to a huge comeback win at the Wembley Stadium by spearheading an 18-point fourth quarter push, but the team came up short against Blake Bortles and his crew who managed seven points in the final canto.
Tannehill is expected to redeem himself in this match against the Bills and with Buffalo's starting signal caller Tyrod Taylor still out with a knee injury, it is up to Manuel to put his team on the board consistently against the Dolphins.
Prediction: Dolphins win, 21-17. Miami will eke out a close one against Buffalo.
