This is a match of two teams going in opposite directions. The Dolphins started off 3-0 and looked like they could contend in the AFC East, but then they lost their next four games, leaving fans wondering what happened. Now they face the Bengals team that has won four straight after completely dismantling the Jets. Andy Dalton had a career day, throwing for 5 touchdowns and over 300 yards. Cincinnati defense is also playing by itself. They limited the Jets to just 9 points and no TDs.
Miami started out playing well in New England, they led 17-3 at half time, but when the third quarter started, the New England defense came to life and the Patriots scored two quick touchdowns and never looked back. QB Ryan Tannehill has problems protecting the football. He had three turnovers against the Patriots, totaling 14 turnovers on the season. The Dolphins are not good enough to overcome mistakes like that. Tannehill has to learn to take the sack or throw the ball away. When he scrambles, he tries to do too much and bad things happen. Against the Bengals, Miami will have their hands full trying to stop Cincinnati pass rushers. Cincinnati is one of the best in the league at getting to the QB. If Miami can't stop the defense, then Tannehill will have a long night.
Because of Dalton's incredible play lately, I give this game to the Bengals. Tannehill and the Dolphins will not be able to keep up with the Cincinnati team that is hitting their stride and playing their best football in the last ten years. The Dolphins have too many issues in a short week they will lose by ten, maybe more.
