The Dolphins Look To Remain Perfect 🐬
Tua Tagovailoa sports the second most passing yards in the league (925), but will go up against a Bengals defense that is shutting down WRs 🏈 (3 min read)

Offensive Explosion In Cincy
The Dolphins have gotten off to an impressive start under Tua Tagovailoa, ripping off a 3-0 start to the season, which included narrow victories over both Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson. Even the infamous butt putt was't enough to stall Miami's early fortunes this season 😭

Regardless of how you feel about the legitimacy of Tua, or even Burrow, when it comes to evaluating the upper echelon of QB ability in the league, it helps that both players have an impressive receiving core to throw to 👇
The Bengals have three legitimate downfield threats in Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins, and Tyler Boyd, who have combined for 558 receiving yards this season and 5 TDs
Jaylen Waddle and Tyreek Hill are the best wideout duo in the league, with both receivers ranking second (342, Waddle) and third (317, Hill) in receiving yards at their position (full list here)
Whatever team can limit the opposing group will win this ball game
Miami: +210 (to win AFC East)
Cincinnati: +290 (to win AFC North)
Trivia Question: Miami has been on a hot streak for a while now — what has their record been over their last 12 games?

Miami Is Hurting
Normally I'd like the Dolphins as the underdog here, especially because I don't think the Bengals defense will be able to handle the tandem of Hill and Waddle, but the possibility of an injured Tua looms over this matchup 🤕
For what it's worth, even though the fifth pick of the 2020 NFL draft is listed as questionable to play, he did note on Wednesday that he plans on playing
This is what happened to Tua Tagovailoa after his head hit the turf hard. Not sure how you let him back in.

If Tua is in the game though, expect him to make it a point to give Hill the ball...
Tua Tagovailoa says if he sees Eli Apple 1-on-1 with Tyreek Hill, he's throwing him the ball

The dynamic receiver has a long-standing feud with Bengals' DB, Eli Apple, dating back to last year. This may be more narrative analysis than anything rooted in science, but if Hill finds himself in single coverage against Apple, there may be some wars waged 😱
Once Tyreek Hill was informed the Dolphins are playing the Bengals Thursday, he immediately started talking trash to Eli Apple #Bengals#Dolphins

It's worth pointing out that Cincy has limited opposing wide receivers to just one TD so far, with no individual player going for more than 91 receiving yards. On the other side of that token though, the most dangerous wideout they've had to deal with has been CeeDee Lamb, who while good, is not on the level of Hill and Waddle 😳
Spread: Bengals -3.5
Moneyline: Bengals -190 (bet $190, win $100), Dolphins +160 (best $100, win $160)
Over/Under: 47.5

For My Parlay Gurus
Assuming Tua is able to suit up for this one, I like Miami to cover the spread, because I think the winner in this one will squeak one out by a field goal. As I mentioned earlier, this game just leaps out as a Tyreek Hill takeover, and I think he's able to make a play in the end zone 📍
Dolphins +3.5 @ Bengals: -104
Tyreek Hill Any Time TD Scorer: +120
