Playing at the Highmark Stadium brings out the best in the Buffalo Bills. They have the fourth-best home offensive record, averaging 31.8 points per game with home-field advantage and 28.4 points for all 16 of their regular season games. Visiting offenses normally struggle to break down the hosts’ defense, which has the second-best defensive record at home, having only allowed 18.4 points on their own turf and 17.9 points in all outings.

The Buffalo Bills earned their place in the playoffs with a 13-3 season. They finished first in the AFC East and took second seed in the AFC Conference. While it will be difficult, this is a team that has shown it can go deep into January.

Miami Dolphins Form

On the other side, the defense has struggled to contain opposing offenses, giving up 23.5 points per game this year.

Despite taking the seventh seed for the AFC playoffs, the Miami Dolphins are a bit of a dark horse bet in the Super Bowl race. They had a 9-8 season to wind up second in the AFC East going into their playoff opener.
