Week 5: Bengals Visit Dolphins, Who Have Scored 46 Points in Four Games
The Cincinnati Bengals visit the Miami Dolphins on Sunday, October 11. Cincinnati is 2-2 after a 22-17 home loss to Jacksonville in which Joe Burrow threw for 428 yards with two interceptions and Ja'Marr Chase left with a concussion; Chase's status for this week has not been announced. Miami is 0-4 after a 15-10 loss at Minnesota, has scored 46 points all season, and lost De'Von Achane to a torn ACL; Ollie Gordon II ran for 100 yards in his first start.
Chase's concussion
The Bengals' passing game without him is Tee Higgins, who had 157 yards last week, and little else.
Miami's offense
Forty-six points in four games, the fewest in the league, with Malik Willis at quarterback.
Cincinnati's run game
Ten yards on nine carries by Chase Brown against Jacksonville.
AI Prediction
Bengals 
Dolphins Miami cannot score
Ten, 13, 10 and 13 points, and now without its best player.
Burrow and Higgins against a defense that allowed 15 to Minnesota's field-goal offense
Even without Chase, the Bengals have the better passing game by a wide margin.
Cincinnati's defense has slipped
Thirty and 22 points allowed in two losses keeps Miami's projection at 13.
A High-confidence road lean that holds with or without Chase.
