The Buffalo Bills and Miami Dolphins will face each other for the third time this season tomorrow in the first round of the postseason.
The Bills are favored by a whopping fourteen points just 24 hours from kickoff.
Much of the reasoning for that is probably the quarterback situation for Miami. The Dolphins are starting QB Skylar Thompson.
Starter Tua Tagovailoa is injured, and backup Teddy Bridgewater is unavailable to start as well. On offense, the Dolphins also do not have one of their starting offensive lineman tomorrow.
Guard Liam Eichenberg has been declared out with with a hand injury.
Robert Jones may start for the Dolphins in place of Eichenberg.
The Bills need to take advantage of this. Miami's offensive line has seen some insufficiency this season.
The status of their offensive tackles is something to watch for Bills fans as well. Both of them are questionable.
Ed Oliver should be able to dominate for Buffalo this weekend, and keep an eye on Daquan Jones on the inside, too.
Getting pressure on Skylar Thompson could be key. Forcing him into costly turnovers gives the Bills' offense a better chance to score more often.
Thompson is the Dolphins' most mobile option at QB, but he is also quite inexperienced at the NFL level.
Expect the Bills to dial up many unique pressure packages to take advantage of a shaky OL for Miami.
