Cincinnati Bengals: (-240)

• The line for the game is Cincinnati by 6 points.

• Cincinnati has erupted for an NFL fourth-best 126 points under offensive coordinator Bill Lazor, who held the same position with Miami before joining the Bengals as a quarterbacks coach in 2016. Andy Dalton, who has thrown for an NFL second-best 11 touchdowns, connected on a last-second 13-yard scoring strike to A.J. Green in a thrilling 37-36 victory over Atlanta last Sunday.

• There was nothing thrilling about Miami’s last outing, as the Dolphins followed up single-digit wins in their first three games with a 38-7 clunker versus New England. “We didn’t sugarcoat a whole bunch,” coach Adam Gase said about the team’s film review. “Nothing went right. Nothing we did was good. It just was not a good game.”

• Quarterback Ryan Tannehill fell on top of the proverbial grenade by telling reporters that “as the leader of this offense, we go as I go, so I’ve got to be better.” The 30-year-old was right as he fell to 10-2 in his last 12 starts after throwing for just 100 passing yards with an interception and a fumble versus the Patriots. An injury-riddled interior of the offensive line is a sore spot, as top free-agent guard Josh Sitton, center Daniel Kilgore and reserve Jake Brendel are all on injured reserve already. Former New York Jets center Wesley Johnson was signed following a tryout this week while Ted Larsen has struggled in a bid to replace Sitton over the last few weeks.

• While Green has an NFL second-best five touchdown receptions, fellow wideout Tyler Boyd leads the team in catches (26), targets (36) and receiving yards (349) after grabbing a career-high 11 balls versus the Falcons. “The guy’s a football player, he’s a playmaker, he’s smart, he has great abilities physically, which is obviously showing up and what showed up Sunday,” Lazor said. Cincinnati hopes to see the return of Joe Mixon in the backfield, as the second-year running back has been practicing 2 1/2 weeks removed from arthroscopic knee surgery. Fellow running back Gio Bernard has flourished in the last two games, rolling up 130 rushing yards and three touchdowns to go along with nine catches for 52 yards.

• Miami RB Frank Gore, who caught Tannehill’s lone touchdown pass last week, gashed Cincinnati for 101 scrimmage yards (82 rushing, 19 receiving) in last year’s encounter with Indianapolis.
