Joel Malkin's Pick:
So, the Bengals are 3-1 and Miami is 1-3. Cincinnati is a much better team, right? I believe both teams are much more evenly matched than you might think.
Looking at the Bengals' record, you'll discover that the three teams they beat this season have a combined record of 3-9, each with overall defenses ranked in the upper 20s. The Dolphins defense ranks 17th overall, but is the #1 rush defense in the league, allowing an average of 56.8 yards per game.
On offense, the Fins are tallying up 153 yards on the ground. Cincinnati is giving up 110 rushing yards per game. That tells me to expect a big game from Reggie Bush.
Cincy's been pressuring the quarterback all year, but rookie Dolphins' QB Ryan Tannehill killed Arizona last week against the blitz.
My prediction: The Bengals' 3 game winning streak comes to an end, with Miami getting their 2nd win of the season, moving to 2-3, with a brighter future on the horizon:
Dolphins 30 - Bengals 13
