Dolphins at Bengals, Sept. 29, 8:15 p.m. ET, Amazon Prime Video
Following an impressive win over the Bills on Sunday to stay undefeated, Miami isn’t complaining about having only three full days to prepare for its game against the Bengals. The good feelings around the Dolphins football team are as high as they’ve been in years. Is there any reason to think coach Mike McDaniel’s team won’t be ready to earn another victory over a top team in the AFC on Thursday?
With the left arm of Tua Tagovailoa slinging the football at an amazing rate already (eight touchdowns and 925 yards passing in three games), the Dolphins are almost exclusively threatening opposing defenses with a passing attack. But that doesn’t seem to matter, and Miami’s defense doesn’t either. Despite allowing more yards than all but one other NFL team, Miami has ended up on the winning side of the scoreboard three weeks straight.
But temper your expectations, Miami. The last time your team was 3-0, it went on to finish 7-9 and miss the playoffs. Those were the days when the Fish had a quarterback with four letters in his name (Ryan Tannehill), instead of the record 18 that Tuanigamanuolepola Tagovailoa has. Still, it seems different in Miami Beach this time, and even a tough road test like this one against the Bengals doesn’t seem impossible for this team.
On Monday, a man was arrested in Louisiana for impersonating Joe Burrow. That may be the only person who has been criminally charged for not being the Cincinnati quarterback, but the real Joe Burrow could be accused of it as well. In three games this season, Burrow has looked like someone else. He’s completing passes at a 64% rate, and he’s looked lackluster in making plays outside the pocket. He looks every bit like a guy suffering from Super Bowl lag. If Burrow doesn’t get his arm and act together, the Bengals could be too far gone to be a threat this season.

Best Bet for Thursday Night Football, Dolphins vs. Bengals
We used the BetMGM Sportsbook “One-Game Parlay” builder to make this pick for the Thursday Night Football game. You can make similar wagers at all of the best sports betting apps.
This wager returns +325, which means a winning $100 bet will get you $325.
- Team Points, Each Team Under 14.5 in First Half
- Bengals -4.5
Why wouldn’t we expect Burrow and the Bengals to keep struggling to put points on the board? That’s why we like a low-scoring first half with field goals rather than touchdowns, drives stalled instead of TD drives, and lukewarm plays far from the end zone rather than red zone plays.
Sure, the Dolphins have a high-flying passing game, with wide receivers Jaylen Waddle (342 yards receiving) and Tyreek Hill (317 yards) averaging 13.3 catches per game between them. The Bengals will need to key on those two receivers, and maybe that’s all because the Dolphins can’t run the football. Miami ranks 30th in the NFL in rushing yards.
