Don’t look now, but Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills — who were 6-6 heading into December — are making a move up the oddsboard to win their division.
The Bills are 10-6, having won four in a row and five of their past six.
They play at the Miami Dolphins (11-5) on Sunday, and the winner will claim the AFC East title (Miami has already clinched a playoff berth).
The Bills opened the season as the favorites to win the AFC East at +100 after winning the division every year from 2020-22. Miami was +400 entering the season, behind the Bills and New England Patriots (+325).
But Buffalo struggled to find a rhythm, losing the opener and sitting at .500 heading into its bye week.
At 6-6, the Bills’ odds to win the AFC East at that time were +1600. Miami was 9-3 and at -1200 to win the division.
Buffalo has since gone on a four-game win streak while Miami has lost two of its past four. Allen ran for two touchdowns in Buffalo’s 27-21 win over New England on Sunday.
Heading into the Week 18 showdown, the Bills are -158 (bet $10 to win $16.33 total) and the Dolphins +134 (bet $10 to win $23.40 total) to win the AFC East.
