Go!

7 point spread and 43.5 total. I'd give the points given the weather and the recent performance of Tua and the offense.

I recently read that Tua struggles when the temperature dips, too.

Not sure that’s a verifiable trend, but it was a legit sports writer opining on the twitters.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

At least for part of his pro career this is what I’ve found:

The Dolphins are 0-2 with Tagovalioa as the signal caller in past cold weather games against the Bills. Tagovalioa completed 56 of 97 passes for 556 yards, one touchdown, and four interceptions in those two past games.

Maybe good to take the bills to cover.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Also like U43 for this game.

Feels like a 24-13 kinda game.

Pretty small sample size, but Tua is 0-3 in games where the temp at kickoff was below 50 degrees. They are also the games of his 3 lowest QBRs in his career.

2 games in his career under 40° were his worst of his career. Not much to make a trend but the way he and the dolphins have been trying to convince themselves the cold isn't going to affect them, you know it's already affected them.

That, and the last 2 games in good weather haven’t been much to write home about either. The 49ers broke him.

I heard Tua crack a joke that it snows in Alabama

Saw that. I chortled.

I still like the bills to cover & the under tho.

 

[Mongidig]

The Dolphins turned down the AC at their practice so they should be good to go as long as the temperature stays above 50.

 

[BobbyLayne]

This should be a primo shootout but instead it’s all about the weather

How much snow they getting this afternoon, five inches? Will it be fine done snowing by kickoff? I suppose lake effect so who knows.

 

[Mookie]

As a Diggs owner, the heavy snow forecast has me very concerned, but you can't bench him right?

 

[SanDawg]

Not currently snowing here....have about 6-8" from last night. Key is no wind. They keep that field clean and things should be fine. Now granted, we have many hours between now and then.

In the afternoon leading up to kick off, perhaps about 1/4 inch per hour on the radar, might increase more as the game rolls around but I don't see anything forecast more than a few inches
The wind is expected to be on the lighter side, 10 mph, I'm sure there will be gusts.
Usually snow means it isn't sub zero freezing temperatures, 30 degrees at kick off
Miami brought a penguin along, they should be fine

 

[The Duff Man]

Also like U43 for this game.

I like the under also.
The last couple snow games in Buffalo:

13-7 OT win versus Indy in 2017 - very heavy snow.

20-27 loss versus Steelers, L Bell in his prime ran for over 200 and 3TDs - lighter snow than is expected today

I think the forecast is for snow in between what these games had. I think the key is that it is going to be actively snowing for the entire game.

I don’t think either team had a running game that is going to tear it up so there should be a lot of punts, or at a minimum if there are scoring drives they will be long and eat clock.

 

[The Duff Man]

I am seeing anywhere from 4-12 inches to fall during the game.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

He’s the 1 guy in this game I wouldn’t bench besides Allen.

Maybe Hill. Maybe.

Are we not doing phrasing?

He’s never even played in a game under freezing.

I could actually see the Bills opting to run a lot tonight and Singletary having a nice game.

 

[Rubi]

O.K. you guys convinced me. Tua is in trouble. He's gonna freeze up while The Bills dance and make snow angels...

Buffalo- 27
Miami- 13

I heard an analyst mention that the Dolphins had heaters on the sidelines at the Chargers game... In LA.

 

[Bracie Smathers]

Rootin' for a snow game.

**South Beach at Snowmen** was the original header I wanted to run with

 

[The Duff Man]

Tonight’s Dolphins-Bills game could be among the snowiest in NFL history.

 

[Todem]

Bills 27
Dolphins 6

 

[ZADO]

Tonight’s Dolphins-Bills game could be among the snowiest in NFL history.

Fire up the RB`s

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Tonight’s Dolphins-Bills game could be among the snowiest in NFL history.

I love snow games.

 

[Todem]

It won’t end well for my team. We simply don’t have what it takes in the snow.

Please prove me wrong Tua.

 

[Dizzy]

Tonight’s Dolphins-Bills game could be among the snowiest in NFL history.

TWO (2) INCHES PER HOUR?!?!?

10-0 Bills

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

This topic also reminded me to bench Bass & add. k.

Lutz kicking in a dome instead of Bass in the snow? Yes please.

 

[The Duff Man]

Note an important word….COULD get that much snow.

Still, I am thinking of a fun bet on an alternate total. Under 29.5 is +630. Going to check in on that closer to game time.

It seems like the big variable is whether the band of snow is trending more to the North of the stadium.

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Miami is 7-0 when they score 20+

Seems like easy math even for me

The super-under

+650?

That is fun.

 

[QuizGuy66]

Need to find where I can bet on how much snow falls during the game.

You think they are scoring tonight?

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Christian Wilkins 9th/126-PFF will try and be a force inside, he's no Aaron Donald but he is fast and makes a lot of tackles for a DL
The rest of the front 5-6-7 that will be coming after Josh Allen...

Jaelan Phillips 8th/121-PFF
Andrew Van Ginkel 33/121
Melvin Ingrahm 37/121
Bradley Chubb 49/121, and Miami traded a lot for him, was very quiet so far on this road trip

Jerome Baker 16/78-PFF
Riley and Roberts are you other MLB that drop back sometimes, very middle fo the pack ratings on them. I don't want to see #45 chasing down receivers from behind tonight.

Howard and Holland have had down years, would be nice to see them unleashed tonight with some errant throws due to a steady and fierce pass rush.
Weather obviously favors the home team

 

[GroveDiesel]

Cole Beasley could legit be a huge factor tonight. Those quick short routes over the middle that he excels at are exactly what would seem to work great in this weather in the passing game.

 

[Steve Tasker]

It's coming down pretty good here right now. If the stadium is anything like this, it'll definitely have a big impact on the game.

 

[Ministry of Pain]

If Miami happens to be wearing white tonight on the white snow...
White Heat!

No snow pouring down at the moment
Field looked pretty clear

 

[TripleThreat]

weather channel has winds for the game around 10 mph.
decent chance all the hullabaloo is for naught.

My online weather map is showing lots of lake effect snow and winds 10-12. But, I, like you noticed the field is clear when reporting at halftime of the CLE BAL game. Keep looking lol. Tua is on my bench for now. Gotta play Bass.

Looks like majority of the heavy snow will fall east of the stadium..
