Two teams hoping to avoid a 1-3 start and putting themselves in a difficult position to make the playoffs go at it tonight. The Bengals have lost two of their first three games to start the season after falling to the Denver Broncos in Week 3, but they should be able to right the ship after playing the NFL’s most difficult schedule. The Miami Dolphins’ defense has proven to be nothing special over the first three games, ranking 28th in yards allowed and intercepting just one pass. The Bengals defensive line could have a field day with Miami’s offensive line. The Dolphins offensive line is currently dealing with some injuries. Miami has allowed a receiver to total at least 92 yards in each of the first three games, and they likely won’t have an answer for A.J. Green. Green had 128 yards on 11 receptions in the last match up against the Dolphins. The Bengals led the defending Super Bowl champions in the fourth quarter on Sunday, though Denver pulled out the win behind one of the best defenses in league history. The Bengals got the run game going in the first half against the Denver Broncos, and the Dolphins come in with the league’s worst outfit against the run, allowing 147.3 yards per game on the ground. When the Bengals have been able to create a big play, they score points. In the last three weeks, the Dolphins have allowed an increasing number of plays of 20 yards or more. The Cincinnati Bengals are coming off of back-to-back losses. That doesn’t bode well for the Miami Dolphins.
For the first three games, Cincinnati has been playing without star linebacker Vontaze Burfict. He has been serving a three-game suspension. Burfict was granted a three-day exemption that allows him to resume activities with the team and be active for the game on Thursday. The Miami Dolphins could very well be down to a third-string center across from Geno Atkins which most bettor's overlook. The Bengals enter this matchup with a lot to prove, and a home game is just what they need to get back on track.
8-Unit Play. Take #282 Hamilton +3 over Calgary (Saturday, October 1 at 4:00 PM ET)
Take Hamilton ATS as my 8-Unit CFL Game of the Year for Saturday afternoon. This pick falls into one of my elite CFL systems and I have Hamilton winning this game outright at home by 6 to 14 points. Hamilton lost by just 6 points at Calgary in Week 10 despite fumbling the ball 4 times in that game. Hamilton is now at home against a Stamps team they had 439 passing yards against, but penalties cost them that game with 103 more penalty yards than Calgary. Hamilton is averaging 29.8 ppg at home this season where they have won 3 straight games, and they look to rebound off a bad 2-point loss to Saskatchewan in a game they should have won. Hamilton hands the Stamps their second loss of the season so play them with confidence Saturday afternoon
