The Miami Dolphins (7-4) host the Cincinnati Bengals (2-8-1) Sunday at Hard Rock Stadium for a 1 p.m. ET kickoff. Here’s a look at the early betting odds and lines at BetMGM Sportsbook.
The Bengals gave the New York Giants all they could handle, and even had a chance to steal a victory but lost at home 19-17 in Week 12. Cincinnati’s offense struggled in its first game without rookie QB Joe Burrow, who suffered a season-ending injury in Week 11 vs. the Washington Football Team.
QB Brandon Allen started, completing 17 of 29 passes for just 136 yards and 1 touchdown with 1 interception. Allen didn’t get a lot of help from the ground game, which was missing an injured RB Joe Mixon, and only gained 40 yards on 15 carries and was kept out of the end zone.
Cincinnati’s betting records
- Against the spread: 7-4
- Over/Under: 5-5-1
Miami smothered the New York Jets in a 20-3 win for the second time this season, outscoring their AFC East rivals 44-3 in the two victories. Jets QB Sam Darnold was awful in his first start back from injury after a two-game hiatus. He was picked off twice, completed less than 60% of his passes (16 of 27) for 197 yards and finished with an 18.3 QBR.
The Dolphins had 12 more first downs (22-10), and held the Jets to 3 of 13 third-down conversions and 0-for-1 on fourth-down attempts. QB Ryan Fitzpatrick filled in nicely for an injured QB Tua Tagovailoa, passing for 257 yards and 2 touchdowns with no interceptions. Tagovailoa’s Week 13 status is uncertain currently.
