Dolphins vs. Bengals Pick
After getting jobbed by the refs last week, the Miami Dolphins look to rebound against the Cincinnati Bengals this Sunday. Read on for odds and picks for this Week 8 AFC matchup.
Before we get to our free pick, let’s take a look at the odds for this Sunday’s contest.
Oddsmakers from online sports book BroburySports.com have made the Bengals a 1-point favorite over the Dolphins on Sunday. The over/under total for this game is currently 43.5 points.
The Dolphins are just 3-3 on the year straight up, but they’ve covered in four of their first six games. They’re also undefeated on the road this year at 3-0 and have covered in all three of those games.
The Bengals, on the other hand, are 2-4 straight up and have failed to cover in four of their first six games. They’ve split their only two games at home this year and are 1-1 ATS at Paul Brown Stadium.
Our NFL Free Pick:
The Dolphins are 5-0 ATS in their last five road games and are 9-1 ATS in their last 10 games as an underdog. Although the Bengals are at home and showed signs of life in the third quarter last week against the Falcons, they’re just 1-4 ATS in their last five games following a stright up loss. They’re also 17-36-2 in their last 55 games in October and 16-33-2 in their last 51 games as a home favorite. The trends don’t favor Cincinnati in this matchup and neither do we. Our pick is the Dolphins, who win this game outright.
