The New England Patriots are also 1-0, but even if they beat the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday afternoon, the winner will be atop the division on Thursday via a tiebreaker that's far too early.

The Dolphins will be without running back Raheem Mostert and rookie wide receiver Malik Washington. All eyes will be on running back De'Von Achane, who is questionable due to an ankle injury and whose participation could be decided on Thursday.

The biggest loss for the Bills is cornerback Taron Johnson, who suffered a forearm injury in the team's season opener.

Advice and prediction

Take the over. This duel has been a point-scoring affair in recent years, with three of the last four meetings between the Bills and the Dolphins seeing total points exceed 60.

Even though numerous changes were made to both defenses during the offseason, there should still be plenty of points to be had on Thursday evening.

forecast: Dolphins 30, Bills 27
