Key Factors
Favors Over
The Miami Dolphins have run the 9th-most plays in the NFL since the start of last season, averaging a colossal 63.9 plays per game.
THE BLITZ projects Raheem Mostert to be much more involved in his team's running game near the end zone this week (46.2% projected Red Zone Carry Share) than he has been since the start of last season (20.0% in games he has played).
Opposing teams have run for the 7th-most TDs in football (1.05 per game) against the Buffalo Bills defense since the start of last season.
The Buffalo Bills safeties profile as the 30th-worst collection of safeties in the NFL since the start of last season when it comes to defending the run.
The Miami Dolphins have faced a stacked the box on a mere 12.1% of their plays since the start of last season, 5th-least in the NFL. Bringing an extra defender near the line of scrimmage improves run-stopping at the expense of better passing efficiency.

The Miami Dolphins offensive line grades out as the 2nd-worst in football since the start of last season at run-game blocking.
The Buffalo Bills have stacked the box against opponents on 19.5% of their plays since the start of last season, 9th-most in football. Keeping an extra defender near the line of scrimmage improves run-stopping at the cost of better passing efficiency.
