The Dolphins will have a difficult time keeping their unbeaten record in 2022 when they visit the Bengals, with the question of whether they can rely on their quarterback, Tua Tagovailoa.
After a good performance against a tough Bills defense on Sunday, the young quarterback was listed as questionable on Monday due to ankle and lower back discomfort. This could give Teddy Bridgewater the lead-off spot on offense against a Cincinnati team that has had a fairly steady performance defensively.
For their part, the Dolphins’ defense got the job done at the right times. While the Bills totaled 497 total yards, in the second half of the game they conceded only five points and forced four fumbles, recovering one of them. Although the Bengals won, their offensive line is still struggling, and Miami won’t waste that advantage.
Betting on the Cincinnati Bengals
- Regular Season Record: 1-2
- Spread: -3.5
- Unibet Moneyline: (-182).
- Over/Under: 47.5
After starting the season with two three-point losses, Joe Burrow and the Bengals finally got to know victory after a somewhat quiet performance against the Jets.
Despite being caught again four times, the quarterback had his best game of the season, finishing with 275 yards through the air and three touchdown passes. Because the Dolphins have one of the best secondaries in the league through the air, it will be critical for Cincinnati’s ground attack to awaken from its slumber.
On the defensive side of the ball, Tagovailoa’s absence could be very good news for a Bengals’ offense that has also been solid, allowing less than 252 yards through the air in each of their games. Of course, none of the previous three opponents had the offensive firepower of Miami, so this will be a good litmus test in their hopes of getting their season off to a good start.
JefeBet Prediction
The questionable status of Tua Tagovailoa greatly conditions the predictions for this game. The quarterback has been critical to the Dolphins’ strong start to the season, and after a strong matchup against the Bills on Sunday, the Bengals’ defense could have the upper hand if the QB is absent.
Joe Burrow, on the other hand, hasn’t been able to be as effective due to a lack of protection from his offensive line. Meanwhile, Miami’s defense has responded in times of pressure.
Prediction: Under (MIA 27 – CIN 20).
