Thursday night football is here, and the week two matchup features the Miami Dolphins and the Buffalo Bills. Both teams are coming off wins in week one, and this division game could prove essential as the year goes on.
The Bills will travel to Miami for their week two matchup, and kickoff time is set for 8:15 p.m. Both teams have peak-performing offenses, so many fans expect this game to be a shootout. Last year, the Bills defeated the Dolphins twice in the regular season and made their way to the AFC divisional game, where they lost to the Kansas City Chiefs again.
The Dolphins had a great year in 2023 under the arm of quarterback Tua Tagovailoa. The Dolphins made the playoffs but were also routed in the wildcard round by the Chiefs. The Kansas City Chiefs went on to win the Super Bowl, which made them repeat champions. This year, the Chiefs are going for NFL history if they can be the first team to win three back-to-back Super Bowls.
Odds For Tonight’s Game
According to legal football betting sites, the Fins are favored to win this game despite the two losses last year to the Bills. The Dolphin’s explosive offense featuring quarterback Tagovailoa, wide receiver Tyreek Hill, and running back Raheem Mostert are known to put up some points, and the team is desperate for a win over their divisional rivals.

Is It Legal To Bet On The NFL Online In The United States?
There are no gambling laws that make betting on the NFL online illegal. Federal gambling laws do not mention online gambling ventures and leave the responsibility up to the states to decide what online gambling options can be accessed.
Online sportsbooks in the USA are generally located outside the country. However, some states now license and authorize domestic online sports betting sites. Today, 38 legal sports betting states offer their domestic services. While domestic sportsbooks are great for many, other states are often left out of the equation and venture into online sportsbooks that have accepted US players since the early 2000s.
