Miami Dolphins (vs. Cincinnati Bengals)
The Miami Dolphins are another 0-4 AFC team that may simply keep losing. If nothing else, the Dolphins are clearly embracing a full-scale rebuid. This team might be the least talented in the sport, and that goes for most, if not the entire roster, including the quarterback.
I am not sure Malik Willis is going to be anything other than a short-term stopgap player. He does seem to have some fun upside as a backup, but Willis isn't bringing any sort of QB advantage for the Dolphins.
Miami ranks 32nd in points per game - they have not scored more than 13 points in a contest this year, and have allowed at least 24 points in three of four games. With stud running back De'Von Achane out for the year, their best player can't at least make things interesting.
And while the Cincinnati Bengals have lost two in a row and are banged up at wide receiver, they're still a decent football team and plenty good enough to beat the Dolphins. Cincy's defense has not looked great the past two weeks after a semi-encouraging start, and you really have to wonder if it's going to be another year where the defense continues to struggle.
With that said, it's not everyday that a team gets to play a squad as weak overall as Miami. Even if only one of Ja'Marr Chase or Tee Higgins plays, the Bengals should have no issues flirting with 30+ points, and with how inept the Dolphins offense is, keeping that unit under 20 points feels like a guarantee.
The Dolphins have been able to hang around over the last two weeks against Kansas City and Minnesota, and that could be the case against Cincinnati, but in the end, the Bengals will do enough to win.
Prediction: Bengals win 35-20
