Cincinnati Bengals vs Miami Dolphins Betting Trends

Updated:Dec 21, 2025 1:44 AM EST

The upcoming NFL showdown on December 21, 2025, features the Cincinnati Bengals visiting the Miami Dolphins at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, FL. This Sunday football game promises to deliver compelling betting trends and game insights for fans and bettors alike. The Bengals, led by starting quarterback Joe Burrow who has fully participated in practice despite minor concerns, face off against the Dolphins and their starting QB Tua Tagovailoa, who remains a key player for Miami's offensive strategy.

Analyzing the matchup, the Bengals boast a strong pass offense averaging 226.6 yards per game, while the Dolphins' pass defense allows about 202.5 yards. Conversely, Miami's run offense is slightly more productive with 24.9 yards per game against Cincinnati's run defense yielding around 15.4 yards. Pass protection and pass rush dynamics also play a critical role, with Miami's defense recording 2.4 sacks per game compared to Cincinnati's 2.1, indicating a slight edge in defensive pressure for Miami.

The point spread currently favors Cincinnati by 4 points with a total points line of 48.5. Bettors should consider Cincinnati's slightly better ATS record on the road (3-4) versus Miami's home ATS (4-3) and the historical trends between these teams. Miami's injury list includes some questionable players, but key starters like Tagovailoa and Waddle are expected to play, which could influence scoring potential in this outdoor venue.

The game will be broadcast on NBC, CBS, and NBC/Peacock, providing multiple viewing options. For those looking to dive deeper into betting stats and trends, this matchup offers valuable insights to make smart wagers. The last meeting on September 29, 2022, saw Cincinnati win 27-15, a reference point for bettors considering team form and matchup history.
