Cincinnati Bengals
The Bengals looked good in the first half against the Patriots and led most of the way before giving up a pair of field goals at the end to go into the tunnel trailing, 13–10.

But then Stephon Gilmore took over the game in the second half, picking off two Andy Dalton passes and taking one all the way back for a long interception return touchdown. His other pick set up a N’Keal Harry touchdown catch and New England had the big lead early in the second.
So give the Bengals just one win in their last five weeks but the losses have been close, at least for some of the game.
The common link has been Andy Dalton playing pretty good quarterback but he threw three interceptions in the second half of the Patriots game. So it makes sense the Patriots dominated the last thirty minutes.
Joe Mixon handled the ball twenty-five times out of the backfield for 136 yards. He added another twenty yards as a receiver and has been racking up the yards of late.
Miami Dolphins
After losing by a point to the Jets that would have been their fourth win in six games, Miami followed it up with a 36–20 loss to the Giants.

The Dolphins go to New England in Week 17 so this is probably their last chance to get a win in what’s been a long season. Miami would all but lock up at least a top three pick in the NFL Draft with a loss here.
Ryan Fitzpatrick needed to throw the ball forty-one times to rack up 279 yards but he didn’t throw a pick and tossed Miami’s two touchdowns through the air.
Davante Parker caught them both and finished with seventy-two yards in his scorching fantasy month.
But the defense made it way too easy for New York, despite three takeaways. The Giants marched up and down the field for 412 total yards split fairly evenly between the pass and rush game.

4* Free NFL Betting Prediction: Dolphins at home.
The Bengals are considered the better team but the Dolphins are the favorite because of the home field. In what is essentially a pick’em, this handicapper will take the home team that has a little more big play potential, though Cincinnati is the more well-balanced team.
The key will be the running game. Miami failed to get anything going on the ground against the Giants and it couldn’t stop Saquon Barkley. The Dolphins could face a similar problem if Joe Mixon gets off, as he has been doing with regularity this month. Offensively, Miami won’t run the ball down anybody’s throat but some balance is key to Fitzpatrick’s success.
