Week 5: Bengals Visit Dolphins, Who Have Scored 46 Points in Four Games

Read the full recap →

The Cincinnati Bengals visit the Miami Dolphins on Sunday, October 11. Cincinnati is 2-2 after a 22-17 home loss to Jacksonville in which Joe Burrow threw for 428 yards with two interceptions and Ja'Marr Chase left with a concussion; Chase's status for this week has not been announced. Miami is 0-4 after a 15-10 loss at Minnesota, has scored 46 points all season, and lost De'Von Achane to a torn ACL; Ollie Gordon II ran for 100 yards in his first start.

Chase's concussion

The Bengals' passing game without him is Tee Higgins, who had 157 yards last week, and little else.

Miami's offense

Forty-six points in four games, the fewest in the league, with Malik Willis at quarterback.

Cincinnati's run game

Ten yards on nine carries by Chase Brown against Jacksonville.

Pregame AI Prediction

Winner called correctly Confidence: High

How the prediction did

Predicted 27-13 (Bengals vs Dolphins), final was 31-24. Right winner, with the margin off by 7. Joe Burrow threw four touchdown passes and Ja'Marr Chase returned from his concussion to catch one of them. Miami outgained Cincinnati 331 to 307 and scored 24, far more than the 13 projected, with Ollie Gordon II running for 88 yards and a score.

Miami cannot score

Ten, 13, 10 and 13 points, and now without its best player.

Burrow and Higgins against a defense that allowed 15 to Minnesota's field-goal offense

Even without Chase, the Bengals have the better passing game by a wide margin.

Cincinnati's defense has slipped

Thirty and 22 points allowed in two losses keeps Miami's projection at 13.

A High-confidence road lean that holds with or without Chase.
