Dolphins vs Bills: Prediction Time!

It's time to make our humble predictions for this game on Sunday. But, as tradition here, let's first take a look at who some "experts" are picking:
| Chris Mortensen - Dolphins | Pete Prisco - Bills |
| Mike Golic - Bills | Harmon Forecast - Bills |
| Mike Ditka - Bills | Peter King - Bills |
| Tom Jackson - Bills | Jay Novacek - Bills |
| Adam Schein - Bills | Sean Leahy - Bills |
What happened to all those people on the Dolphins bandwagon? I guess they all fell off when we hit this little pothole.
As for me? I fell to 3-3 on my picks after the Dolphins decided to take last week off against the Ravens. This week?
I'm not sure I can convince myself that the Dolphins will pull this game out. I have no reason to think that this Miami secondary will play any better this week than they did the past 2 weeks. The best I can do is hope that the pass rush can be a big factor and consistently pressure Trent Edwards.
Offensively, the running game has got to get going. And I think it will - with runs to the outside (away from Marcus Stroud). But I don't think the offense will do enough.
In the end, it'll be a close game - with the Bills pulling out the win. Bills 23 - Dolphins 17
Tell us your prediction below...

Mortensen
Seems like he knows our Fins pretty well, as he has picked the winner in every Dolphin game this year, other then the Patsy game. Interesting to note, he was the only person on ESPN’s panel to pick Miami to win against the Chargers in Week 5, and he is the only person picking Miami again this week.

Mortensen
He also has the best record out of all the “experts”.
My prediction. 24-20
I guess I should have thought twice before creating my profile's name.

Dolphins 44-13
Because I hate Buffalo and I hate their fans too.
Run it up!

Before my comp explodes
which could happen any minute here.. My computer is on the brink of blowing up again. Another virus or something.. keeps restarting itself randomly, sometimes it won’t start up, weird shit happening.. but anyway
if my computer gets blowed up Tony Bua-style, i may not be able to post my Gameballs column this week. We’ll see, maybe I can get to the library and do it or something, but it could be late.. Just a heads-up for all 4 of my faithful readers lol

Is going to be dificult!!
but, now , after 2 losses, the peptalk and week of training with head games will make the Phins to play, almost perfect. I will be a huge upset, for everybody to notices that we are back on track and to star savoiring victory BIG TIME.
27-17 Dolphins!!
Ps the last 7 point coming from a consuming time drive of more than 8 min.
I will see the Dolphins win a SUPER BOWL before i die(21 years and counting)

Behind enemy lines up here in NY
Bills fans are quite obnoxious this week. It’s “Squish the fish” week in Upstate and us Dolphin fans are steeled in our resolve, but harangued just about everywhere. They’ve chalked this win up already here in the land of Buffalo Chips, and believe me, our special teams suck-factor and pass defense dipshittery has not gone unnoticed. Quite a few Bills fans make the trip from up here to Miami for the game every year, and I ask that Fins fans out there make their trip a wasted one. Whether it’s screaming in their ears, or keeping the team motivated throughout the game, do whatever you can!!
FIGHT! FIGHT those bastards!! I HATE the Bills!!! Kill the Bills!
Dolphins 56 – Bills 3* What am I basing that prediction on? HATE – pure and unbridled.
*(Disclaimer: Bills 3 point scoring drive due to Dolphin penalties, not offensive production / plus Lindell is my Fantasy Kicker this week so I need him to contibute something)

Oh God help them if the Dolphins win....
…I wont even wait til Monday. If I have to hunt them down, search all over upstate – maybe i’ll even be phoning them up Sunday evening with smack talk, back talk, and whatever else rhymes with those. They are THAT obnoxious

anyone else ever confuse Mortenson and Jaws? Or is that just me?

lol......I'm a little biased.
most of it grown is for livestock. But the sweetcorn that is around here pretty much rocks. And Jaws doensn’t need Kornheiser, except for comic relief by showing him what an idiot he is about football.

DOLPHINS 23 BILLS 14
Because we win when we are not supposed to and lose the rest of the time.

Bills 27 Fins 20
Because I’m usually wrong so I think this will help our chances.
Too much fire power for our secondary, unless we get the lead
early we are gonna be in a bad way.
