Both of these teams are in a full on rebuild, but they have trended in two different directions as of recent as the Miami Dolphins have been competitive over their last few games while Cincinnati has really struggled. The Cincinnati Bengals have been terrible on the offensive side of the ball as they rank last in the NFL in points scored, and QB Andy Dalton has been the main reason behind the offensive deficiencies as he has thrown 11 TDs compared to 13 interceptions. The Dolphins will have to shut down RB Joe Mixon who has been the lone bright spot for the offense, but LB Jerome Baker has emerged as an all-around good player for the Dolphins. Ryan Fitzpatrick is the better QB in this matchup, and WR DeVante Parker will continue his success against a banged-up secondary. Final Score Prediction, Miami Dolphins win and cover ATS 28-24.
