Preview

The Dolphins got in the win column in Week 3, but it’s tough to be too impressed with an overtime victory over the Browns. Ryan Tannehill threw for 319 yards and three TDs, but he was picked off twice, with one of those interceptions returned for a TD. The Browns had an edge in total yards (430-426), as well as time of possession (37:22-29:12). Needless to say, Miami will need to be better to have any hope of upsetting the Bengals in Cincinnati. Early signs are that the public is backing the Bengals, with 62 percent of bettors backing Cincinnati according to Covers.com Consensus Analysis. History favors the Dolphins, who have covered the spread in each of their last four visits to Paul Brown Stadium. History also suggests this could be a low scoring game, as the Dolphins have trended under at a rate of 7-0-1 in their last eight appearances on Thursday Night Football. Cincinnati is also riding several under trends, including six straight unders versus sub .500 opponents.
