If Miami loses Thursday, the Bills will take the field with a chance to wrap up their fifth consecutive AFC East title. If Miami wins, that’s all the more reason for the Bills – who have to go on the road to the Rams and Lions after this – to want to take care of business and keep the Dolphins on the brink of extinction in the division race.
San Francisco’s health will be a major factor. It’s too early in the week to guess at whether Purdy, Williams, Ward and Bosa can return, but there are indications that all four of them will do so, making Buffalo’s task much more difficult than Green Bay’s was. Still, the Bills are at home where they’re 5-0 this season and 32-6 since the start of 2020, and that could prove to be the eventual difference.
Sal Maiorana’s prediction: Bills 27, 49ers 20
