NFL Showdown: Bills vs. Dolphins and James Cook’s Rushing Yards Prop
Thursday Night Football showcases the Buffalo Bills (2-0) taking on the Miami Dolphins (0-2). Despite contrasting records, both teams present interesting player prop bets for fans considering SGPs.
MVP Josh Allen will certainly catch attention as fans make props for the Dolphins vs. Bills game. However, Tua Tagovailoa has a talented roster at his fingertips, including De’Von Achane and Tyreek Hill. Hill has consistently challenged defenses but might not hit his prop totals against Buffalo, averaging merely 5.0 receptions and 52.2 receiving yards in nine regular-season encounters against them, never exceeding 82 yards.
For Thursday’s props, Hill’s over/under for receptions sits at 5.5, with odds of -138 for the Over and +104 for the Under. Given his track record and the appealing payout for the Under, this might be a prudent NFL prop to consider. Achane’s receptions also align at 5.5, while Jaylen Waddle, who was questionable due to a shoulder injury, is active with a bar of 4.5. Remember, before betting on the Dolphins vs. Bills props for Thursday Night Football, it’s vital to review the Bills vs. Dolphins prop predictions powered by SportsLine’s Machine Learning Model.
The model uses advanced AI and machine learning by SportsLine’s Data Science team to generate predictions for each player prop.
For those considering NFL betting options for the Thursday Night Football clash, the Model forecasts James Cook going over 65.5 rushing yards (-114 at FanDuel). After being contained in Week 1 against Baltimore’s top-tier run defense in 2024, Cook bounced back with 132 rushing yards against the Jets in Week 2. Excluding limited snaps in Week 18 last season, Cook surpassed 65.5 rushing yards in six of his last eight starts, including playoffs.
Facing a Dolphins defense ranked 25th against the run, which has allowed over 120 rushing yards per game, Cook’s prop bet appears promising. Additionally, he’s averaged 69.7 rushing yards along with three touchdowns in three Thursday games, giving this wager a solid 4-star rating from the model, which predicts 81.8 rushing yards for Cook.
