Thursday Night Football - Bengals vs. Dolphins Best Bets and Player Props
Joe Burrow Over 1.5 Passing Touchdowns (-162 FanDuel Sportsbook) for 1 unit
Burrow played well against the Jets last week, throwing for 275 yards and three touchdowns. It marked his second game of the season with multiple touchdown passes, and he has a total of six touchdown passes in the early going. Last season, Burrow recorded at least two touchdown passes in passes in 11 of the 16 games that he played in.
One of the main reasons why Burrow is able to rack up touchdown passes in bunches is his stellar wide receiver trio of Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins and Tyler Boyd. The Bengals often look toward Chase when they get in close, already giving him eight red zone targets. The Bengals might need to throw a lot to keep up with the improved Dolphins' offense, meaning Burrow could have plenty of opportunities to reach this over.
Tee Higgins Over 64.5 Receiving Yards (-113 FanDuel Sportsbook) for 1 unit
Higgins was limited in Week 1, catching both of his targets for just 27 yards against the Steelers. He left the game early with a concussion, which contributed to his light stat line. Last season, he had a least five targets in 12 of his 14 games. Healthy again, the Bengals gave him 10 and seven targets, respectively, in Weeks 2 and 3. He responded with at least 71 receiving yards in both games.
While Chase grabs a lot of headlines for the Bengals, Higgins is a crucial part of their offense. He is also somewhat aided by Chase, whose presence requires a lot of attention from the opposing defense. With the expectation that Higgins receives a busy workload again, look for him to reach the over.
Tua Tagovailoa Over 252.5 Passing Yards (-113 FanDuel Sportsbook) for 1 unit
While Tagovailoa (back) is officially listed as questionable, he is expected to take the field. He didn't compile many lofty totals in the passing yards department last season, throwing for fewer than 250 yards in 10 of the 13 games he played in. However, a second year of Jaylen Waddle in the NFL and the addition of Tyreek Hill has left him with significantly more upside heading into this season.
Tagovailoa hasn't let his improved weapons go to waste, totaling at least 270 passing yards in two of his first three games. Even in Week 3 when he was limited to 18 pass attempts, he came away with 186 passing yards. When you factor in the big-play ability that comes with Hill and Waddle, the over here is very appealing.
