Dolphins vs. Bengals picks against the spreadTyler Dragon: Cincinnati Bengals (-1.5)
Both teams are already eliminated for the playoffs. But I expect a bounce-back performance from Joe Burrow.
Jon Hoefling: Miami Dolphins (+1.5)
There just is no world where the Bengals defense can stop De’Von Achane.
Jordan Mendoza: Cincinnati Bengals (-1.5)
Not much to play for in this game, but both sides do need to win to keep the hot seat cooled down. The Bengals offense picks it up after the shutout against Baltimore.
Blake Schuster: Cincinnati Bengals (-1.5)
When two checked-out teams are forced to play each other, take the one with more natural talent on the roster. Especially when the Dolphins are already talking about benching Tua Tagovailoa.
Christopher Bumbaca: Cincinnati Bengals (-1.5)
We don’t know who Miami’s QB is going to be as of this writing so I’m banking on it being somebody other than Tua Tagovailoa (hello, Quinn Ewers?). And in that case, I will be taking the Cincinnati Bengals.
Richard Morin: Cincinnati Bengals (-1.5)
It’s anyone’s guess what’s going on in Miami, but the Bengals have a healthy Joe Burrow who can still sling it.
