Game Preview

The Cincinnati Bengals were humiliated at home against the division rivals, the Baltimore Ravens, losing 24-0. It was one of the worst losses this team has endured since Joe Burrow landed in Cinci. It was also the defeat that formally eliminated the Bengals from the playoffs.

The defense is the worst in the league, allowing the most points per game (31.2), the most passing yards per game (403.8), and the most rushing yards per game (157.9). Enough said.

As for the Dolphins, they were in excellent shape, but the loss to the Steelers in Pittsburgh ended their playoff hopes. It was 28-15 for the Steelers, who controlled the game right from the start, not allowing the Dolphins.

Prior to these games, the Fins had won four straight, three at home. And the defense has been excellent, allowing 17 points at most. On the other hand, the force on the offensive side was De’Von Achange, who had 528 rushing yards in those 4 events.

Bengals vs. Dolphins Head to Head

In 26 matches, the Dolphins posted 18 wins, while the Bengals posted 8. Last was in 2022, when Cicni won at home, 27-15.

Bengals vs. Dolphins Predictions

The Cincinnati Bengals are a good, offensive-minded team, with an awful defense. Miami’s offense is potent enough to score at least 25 points against them, meaning that the most logical solution here would be to bet on over 50.5 points.
