Cincinnati Bengals @ Miami Dolphins, 1:00 PM ET
The Miami Dolphins might not win a game this year, and I am not at all exaggerating. If nothing else, the Dolphins were able to hang with Minnesota at their house in Week 4, so that has to be worth something, but the Dolphins are now down their best player, as De'Von Achane's torn ACL he suffered in Week 3 will keep him out for the rest of the season.
Achane was the foundation of the offense, so this team will continue to struggle even more on that side of the ball all year long, as Malik Willis just isn't a good QB and isn't nearly good enough to elevate the lack of talent around him.
The Cincinnati Bengals are coming off their second loss in a row, as they were not able to get past Jacksonville at home. Through four weeks, the Bengals do feel like the same team they have been the past few seasons, which isn't good.
Head coach Zac Taylor continues to be outclassed by the better and best head coaches in the league, and the defense hasn't played as well as expected so far. However, the Dolphins might be the worst team in the sport, so the Bengals shouldn't have to do much in this one to win.
In fact, this could be a double-digit victory for the Bengals, who are still right in the heart of the AFC North race and could win the division this year if that defense comes into their own. Playing a talentless team like Miami should end up being a get-right game for most, if not every other team in the NFL.
Joe Burrow has a four-touchdown game as the Bengals throttle the Dolphins and move to a modest 3-2 start on the season.
Prediction: Bengals win 35-20
