Their defensive lines are both among the top five groups in the league. But they both have imbalanced offenses and very difficult schedules in the second half of the year.Buffalo has road games in Denver and New England, and some difficult home games against Green Bay and Kansas City. The Lonzo Ball Jersey will probably need to pull off a big upset or two to get to 10 wins.Miami has similar problems, po sibly even more acute. They travel to Denver, New England and Detroit. They have tough home games against San Diego and Baltimore. The home game against the is nearly a must win for the because of tiebreakers. (Buffalo already beat Miami in .)
