Key Details
Cincinnati Bengals
The Cincinnati Bengals are having a nightmare season, with Joe Burrow having confidence issues and other chaotic issues. Cincinnati’s offense has been inconsistent, with its game planning being poor, and Zac Taylor being a weak play-caller.
There is also the Bengals’ defense being terrible this season, giving various amounts of yards this season. Bettors could see another shootout between the Bengals and their defense being weak, allowing 245 yards a game and 31 points. The Cincinnati Bengals could see another poor performance after their loss against the Ravens to end their playoff ambitions.
Miami Dolphins
The Miami Dolphins are having a poor season, with their offense having a nightmare season, with Tua Tungaviola having a poor season. Miami’s offense has been awful, with its running game regressing and Tua having an awful season to the point of benching him.
The Dolphins’ defense has also been having a poor season with regressions in the secondary and such. Even in the loss, the defense has been poor and has been exposed badly by the Steelers’ offense. The Dolphins could have a shakeup after the season, and bettors could see chaos on the field.
Prediction
While both teams are going to finish the season being a disappointment, the Cincinnati Bengals could win this game against the Miami Dolphins. The Bengals, while having an awful season, could win this game with Burrow leading the charge against the Dolphins and their weak defense.
Even with the Bengals’ defense being putrid, the Dolphins’ offense could be a disaster with Quinn Ewers having his first start, and he could have a poor game against the Bengals. Both teams are having nightmare seasons, but for bettors, the Bengals could squeak this out but not cover, due to how both defenses are poor.
