But the trends -- especially head-to-head -- indicate bettors should use caution here as Week 9 NFL betting kicks off.
The Dolphins have lost four straight and badly need a bounce game at home against Cincy. And they are 10-2 SU against the Bengals and 9-3 ATS since 1980, according to the Week 9 NFL trends report from Odds Shark.
It’s one of many Week 9 games where trends indicate bettors should look twice before putting down their money. A lot of teams are coming off bye weeks and four more are heading into bye weeks, and these are important handicapping considerations.
Those focused on NFL over-under betting see plenty of intriguing angles, especially in the Colts-Texans battle where most of the angles point UNDER.
Post-bye week teams - Chicago Bears, Tennessee Titans, Indianapolis Colts, San Diego Chargers, Baltimore Ravens, Houston Texans
Pre-bye week teams - Cleveland Browns, Kansas City Chiefs, New England Patriots, New York Jets
