Bengals at Dolphins: Odds, betting lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Dolphins 23, Bengals 14
Money line (?)
The Dolphins don’t yet know who they’ll start at quarterback this weekend, but that won’t matter. They’re going to beat the Bengals, who are starting QB Brandon Allen again.
The Dolphins will win fairly comfortably, with their swarming style of defense crushing Allen and Cincinnati’s offense. Take the DOLPHINS (-589) to win outright, even with an unrewarding money line.
Against the spread (?)
As 11.5-point favorites, the Dolphins are expected to win big. Just as they did against the Giants last week, the Bengals will keep this one within single digits. That’s not to say the Giants are nearly as good as the Dolphins, but the Bengals will find a way to score in garbage time to cover the spread.
Take the BENGALS +11.5 (-110) to cover, which would be their eighth covered spread in their last 11 games.
Over/Under (?)
Cincinnati hasn’t scored more than 17 points in any of its last three games, putting up a total of 36 points in those contests. The Dolphins defense is great and will once again keep the Burrow-less Bengals in check.
Take the UNDER 42.5 (-110).
