Cincinnati Bengals
After two losses in first two weeks, the Cincinnati Bengals managed to easily defeat the New York Jets. That’s how they got to 1-2. The offense finally worked the way everyone expected, and the defense was up to the task.
On Thursday night, the Bengals will play one of week four derbies. The Miami Dolphins are coming to Cincinnati and it’s a clash between two teams that are aiming for very top of the AFC. In previous part of the season, the Bengals had most problems with their offensive line. Although during winter and spring they almost completely changed players in that part of the team, it did not give desired result. The opposing defenses gets to Joe Burrow very easily and puts him under big pressure.
The Bengals are favorites on paper, but if they play like they did in first two weeks, they will have a hard time winning against the Dolphins. Burrow’s protection will be the key in this game. If young quarterback has time to throw, then home team chances to triumph will increase.
Miami Dolphins
The Miami Dolphins are the most pleasant surprise of this season so far. After three weeks, they are in first place in the AFC with 3-0. They are the only unbeaten team in their conference, plus they beat three very serious opponents (Buffalo Bills, Baltimore Ravens and New England Patriots).
Many were surprised when former head coach Brian Flores was fired, but it was the right move. Mike McDaniel looks like a serious upgrade and the Dolphins offense looks imposing. Tua Tagovailoa is able to exploit all the potential he has, plus Tyreek Hill arrival has opened up a lot of space for other wide receivers. Jaylen Waddle, who is in fantastic shape, made the most of this. The Dolphins defense is also playing well and they are already a contender for big result this year.
The Dolphins have shown that they have quality to beat any team in this league and they certainly won’t be afraid of the Bengals. If they are able to impose their rhythm in offense, then they will be in a good position to achieve a fourth win at the beginning of the season.
H2H
Last time, these two teams played against each other two years ago. Then, the Dolphins won 19:7 in Miami.
Injuries
DJ Reader and Drew Sample will be out for the Cincinnati Bengals due to injury, while La’el Collins is questionable. The Dolphins have several players who did not practice this week including Tua Tagovailoa, Jaylen Waddle, Xavien Howard, Brandon Jones and Terron Armstead. Probably everyone will be able to play in this game.
Cincinnati Bengals vs. Miami Dolphins Prediction
The Bengals have found desired rhythm and form last Sunday, but now they will play against a team that has shown the most of all in the entire league. The Dolphins have defeated the Patriots, Ravens and Bills, and that’s more than enough to make us believe they can cover a six-point handicap.
