NFL Picks Miami Dolphins (7-5) vs. Buffalo Bills (6-6): The first-ever NFL regular season game on Canadian soil will be played indoors at the Rogers Center in Toronto, as the Miami Dolphins and the Buffalo Bills renew a heated and lengthy rivalry this Sunday at 4:05 PM ET (1:05 PM ET) on CBS.

With the battle for AFC playoff positioning coming down to the wire, the Miami Dolphins may have caught a break by not having to play a game out in the December cold of upstate New York; a place where they’ve been notoriously incompetent in the past, this time of year.

Odds makers at SportsBook.com see no advantage going for either team on this one, as the Miami Dolphins and Buffalo Bills are both at PK (-110) and the OVER/UNDER has been set at 42 points in total.

After a disastrous 1-win season, the Miami Dolphins find themselves in the playoff hunt for the first time in 5 years.

"We know that we control kind of our own destiny right now," Miami coach Tony Sparano said. "When you're in those kinds of situations, the best thing that I know how to do is to put your head down, eliminate the distractions and think about the now, what's in front of you right now." Miami hasn't made it to the postseason since 2001, when finishing with a mark of 11-5.

The last time these teams met dates back to Week 8, when quarterback Chad Pennington (238-364, 2881 yards, 11 TDs) passed for 314 yards, and the Dolphins defeated the visiting Bills, 25-16. Despite the loss, Buffalo has won 7 of the last 9 meetings with the Dolphins, but Miami leads the overall series, 51-37-1. "Right now, we have no room for error," Bills Wide receiver Lee Evans stated. "If we lose again, we'll be out of the hunt."
