Best Bet

Bengals -3.5
Line

With Tua on the bench the Bengals are a strong play in this deadest of dead rubbers.

The Dolphins are starting former Longhorns QB Quinn Ewers, who, despite the frustration around Tua’s play, is highly unlikely to be an upgrade on the former number one overall pick.

Cincinnati were shut out last week by Baltimore but teams off being shut out are a remarkable 35-17-1 against the line since 2015.

While Cinci were terrible last week, they pushed the Bills to one score prior to that and beat the Ravens in Week 13. That level of play is far better than anything Miami have managed of late.

The quarterback advantage with Joe Burrow back in the lineup for Cinci relative to a seventh round rookie is enough reason to play the minus in this one.


Same Game Multi

Bengals -3.5, Gesicki 30+ Yards & TD
Same Game Multi

Former Dolphin Gesicki is a primary target in the red zone, and Miami has allowed the 6th-most touchdowns to tight ends this season. He was down last week against Baltimore but had 86 yards and a score against the Bills the week prior.


Value Bet

Mike Gesicki
First Touchdown

Against his former team, expect Gesicki to be involved in the gameplan early and given the Dolphins struggling against tight ends, he looks a big price for the first score.
