Cincinnati Bengals vs Miami Dolphins Betting Trends
Updated:Dec 19, 2025 1:11 AM EST
The upcoming Sunday football game on December 21, 2025, features the Miami Dolphins hosting the Cincinnati Bengals at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, FL. This NFL Week 16 matchup is a compelling contest for bettors seeking the latest betting trends and game insights.
Starting quarterbacks for this game are Joe Burrow for the Bengals and Tua Tagovailoa for the Dolphins. Burrow, who has fully participated in practice, offers a strong passing offense, averaging 226.6 passing yards, while Tagovailoa counters with 181.3 yards. Cincinnati's pass protection is notable with less pressure allowed, but Miami's pass rush can challenge this advantage. The Bengals' run offense (87.4 yards per game) meets Miami's solid run defense (132.1 yards allowed), suggesting a balanced ground game battle. Miami's offense is slightly more productive overall, scoring 21.1 points per game versus Cincinnati's 22.4, but the Bengals have a tougher defense that limits opponents to 19.0 points on average.
Recent betting stats show Cincinnati struggling with a 6-8 ATS record and Miami at an even 7-7 ATS, with Miami having a better home ATS record of 4-3. The point spread is set with the Bengals favored by 4 points (-4) and a total of 47.5 points, indicating a moderately competitive game. The odds favor Cincinnati at -209 moneyline odds, while Miami is the underdog at +174.
Injuries to key players like Miami's tight end Darren Waller (questionable) and Cincinnati's wide receiver Tee Higgins (questionable) could impact offensive output. However, both teams have key players fully participating in practice, which bodes well for an exciting Sunday football showdown broadcasted on NBC, CBS, and NBC/Peacock.
For bettors looking to capitalize on this matchup, understanding these betting trends and game insights can guide smarter wagers. The Bengals' stronger passing game and defense make them a solid pick against the spread. The best odds available today for Cincinnati is -4 at Caesars and for Miami +4 at Caesars.
