Thursday Night Football will see the Buffalo Bills take on the Miami Dolphins in what should be a massive game in the AFC East. Both teams are trying to keep in touch with the division topping New England Patriots, and both are currently stuck on 5-4.

Today's big TNF game takes place from the Sun Life Stadium, in Miami Gardens, Florida and will start at 8.25 p.m. EDT. The game will be broadcast on the NFL Network, but can also be watched online through live stream via the link provided below.

Coming into Week 11 the Patriots have clear space between themselves at the top of the AFC East and the chasing pack. The Patriots are on 7-2, where as the chasing Bills and Dolphins are on 5-4. The New York Jets, who managed to finally claim their second win of the season last week, are way back on 2-8.

The Bills and Dolphins will be hoping to catch the Patriots, but will have a more realistic eye on trying to catch a Wild Card spot for the postseason. That means a win today for either would be a massive step forward. But for today's loser it will no doubt be a massive blow to the Playoff hopes.

Today's teams are very evenly matched and that means things could easily go either way. The Dolphins have home field advantage, which should give them the slight edge, but both teams have shown flashes of brilliance, as well as repeated lapses in their game this season, and it is that inconsistency on behalf of both teams that makes this clash wide open.

In total yards per game, the Dolphins have managed to post 350.4 yards on average, where as the Bills are just slightly behind on 331 yards. On the pass, the Bills have the slight edge with 230.8 yards in the air per game, where as the Dolphins have 222.9 yards per game.

However, on rush the Dolphins have the edge, and have averaged 127.6 yards per game, compared to the Bills' 100.2 yards per game.
