For today, every Dolphins fan is a Buffalo Bills fan

This is going to be hard to admit. But trust us, it is for the best.

Go Bills! 

Today, we are all Buffalo Bills fans — as the Bills search for their first playoff win since 1995, the Miami Dolphins are searching for as good of positioning in the 2020 NFL Draft as they can possibly find. And the pathway to a higher 1st-round pick involves the Buffalo Bills beating the Houston Texans this afternoon.

So screw it. Go Bills.

The Dolphins have their first two 1st-round picks locked in at the moment, they own the 5th and 18th picks in the 1st-round of the 2020 NFL Draft courtesy of their own pick and the trade of DB Minkah Fitzpatrick with the 8-8 Pittsburgh Steelers.

It’s all on the Texans to lose now — the sooner the better. Here’s what is at stake for Miami this weekend. If the Texans lose, Miami’s third 1st-round pick will fall in-between 21st and 24th in the NFL Draft order. The actual slot depends on what other teams win or lose this weekend. If the Texans win? The Dolphins third 1st-round pick will be 25th at best and could fall even further.

Nobody wants that. So as hard as it may be to say out loud, say it with us:

Go. Bills!
