Cincinnati Bengals betting prop - NFL Week 4

The Thursday night game in Week 4 will feature the Miami Dolphins vs Cincinnati Bengals. How will Joe Mixon do for the Bengals?

The Miami Dolphins vs Cincinnati Bengals will play on Thursday night. This is a game where both moneyline and spread picks seem to revolve around the playing status for Miami's QB1, Tua Tagovailoa. In this article, we'll look at a betting prop for the game with a focus on the Cincinnati Bengals.

The Pick: Joe Mixon to rush UNDER 65.5 yards

Miami's injury report makes this game a riskier bet than most. But if you look at Miami's defensive stats this season, they've actually done well against running backs. Some might not notice that at first because they are toward the bottom of the lead in defending the rush. However, Lamar Jackson, Baltimore's rushing quarterback is a big reason for that.

Jackson rushed for 119 yards in Week 2. The team's running backs were essentially absent in the game. Devin Singletary and Zach Moss combined for just 59 yards last week as Buffalo's running backs. Back in Week 1, Damien Harris rushed for a team-high 48 yards for New England against Miami. Basically, if you throw out Jackson's efforts, there hasn't been an effective rusher against Miami. Phrase different, there has not been an effective running back rushing against Miami this season.

Joe Mixon, Cincinnati's RB1, has an OVER/UNDER total of 65.5 rushing yards for the Bengals with bet365. That looks a little short. If you were on Cincinnati's coaching staff, you would be trying to pass against the Dolphins

Miami Dolphins vs Cincinnati Bengals recommendation:

  • UNDER 65.5 rushing yards for Mixon at 10 to 11
