The Cincinnati Bengals enter Week 13 against the Miami Dolphins as massive underdogs.
Oddsmakers agree and so do the experts who pick every game. As of this writing, zero experts chronicled at NFL Pick Watch have picked the Bengals to actually beat the Dolphins.
Understandable, given this is a road contest a week removed from Zac Taylor’s offense generating all of 155 yards of total offense.
The Dolphins have simply done the rebuilding thing better around head coach Brian Flores and have run out to a 7-4 record this year, mostly due to a strong defense.
One of the only big knocks on the Dolphins at this point is that they don’t know if they will start Ryan Fitzpatrick or Tua Tagovailoa under center due to an injury suffered by the latter.
But even that isn’t a big advantage for the Bengals — it just means they have to prepare for multiple quarterbacks. Given how the teams have played so far this year and the general direction of the franchises, it’s no wonder experts aren’t comfortable rolling with the Bengals.
