Week 3 was another wild weekend of games across the NFL, and this week should be no different. To start Week 4, we are getting back on the same game parlay train, this one for an AFC battle between the Miami Dolphins and Cincinnati Bengals on Thursday Night Football. With kickoff set for 8:15 pm ET on Amazon Prime Video, it's time to forecast the action.
Here is our SGP, and also be sure to check out our full'Steelers vs Browns picks'on the side and total in addition to'all of our NFL previews.
Part of the value in same game parlays, of course, is that all of its components can be correlated if you so choose. However, it actually adds more value if you can predict the game script that both teams will want to play. In this instance, I'm projecting this to be a great spot for the Bengals to win at home on a short week. Let's break down each of these legs one by one.
Cincinnati Bengals -3.5 (-110)
This Thursday Night Football matchup sets up to be a perfect spot for the Bengals. Cincinnati is at home coming off a confidence-building win over the Jets, while the Dolphins just played an extremely difficult game. While Miami did beat the Bills, the game was played in nearly 100 degree temperatures and the Dolphins were clearly exhausted at the end. The Miami defense was on the field for 90 plays against Buffalo, following a week in which they played a ton of snaps against Baltimore. To make matters worse, Tua Tagovailoa has clear injury concerns after suffering a blow to the head on Sunday. The Dolphins are clearly overrated in this spot following a victory in which they were outgained by nearly 300 yards. Cincinnati is the play and I expect a spirited Bengals effort here.
