Dolphins at Bengals picks and predictions

Prediction

Bengals 25, Dolphins 19

Money line

The Bengals (-205) have just been too inconsistent to this point to risk more than 2 times your potential return, even though Cincinnati likely has the upper hand here with the Dolphins (+170) literally limping into the game with many key injuries.

PASS.

Against the spread

At first glance, an unbeaten Dolphins +4.5 (-115) looks like a gift from the sportsbooks. But BENGALS -4.5 (-107) is the play here.

While I don’t mind QB Teddy Bridgewater under center if Tua is unable to go, if Waddle were to sit, too, that’s bad news for the offense. And seeing Howard on the injury report on the defensive side of the ball would allow QB Joe Burrow to pick apart the Dolphins secondary with his cadre of impressive receivers.

This has the look of a breakout performance for Cincinnati, getting itself back on track for another playoff run.

Over/Under

The lean is to UNDER 46.5 (-105) here, especially if Tua and/or Waddle are inactive.

Prime time games have cashed the Under in 7 of 10 games under the lights already this season, and this game appears ‘primed’ to go Under on Prime Video. See what I did there?

Dolphins at Bengals odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Bengals 19, Dolphins 15

Money line

The BENGALS (-130) are worth a look in front of the home fans, and Cincinnati should get a boost with QB Joe Burrow (knee) seeing his first action of the preseason, albeit on a limited basis.

The offensive line has been very good through two preseason games, allowing just one sack. Look for Cincinnati to win this first preseason meeting between the teams since 1975.

Against the spread

The BENGALS -2.5 (-112) are a better play laying the small number rather than betting the money line. There just isn’t much more risk, and you can save a little bit unless you believe this is going to be decided by two or fewer points.

Over/Under

UNDER 36.5 (-112) is the lean, even though we’ve seen a little bit of an uptick in scoring in the third and final weekend of preseason action. Burrow will play, but it will be a cameo.

Dolphins head coach Brian Flores said earlier in the week that he is undecided whether he’ll rest the starters in this one. It’s a good bet they play some, but not long, preserving the starting unit for a key Week 1 battle against the New England Patriots.
