Week 4 will kick off with a matchup between the undefeated Miami Dolphins and the reigning AFC champion Cincinnati Bengals. A short week is not what the Dolphins need right now. Their defense was on the field for 90 plays and over 42 minutes of game time last week in their win against the Buffalo Bills. Tee Higgins and the rest of the offense are in line to have big games and will look to push their record to 2-2.
Best NFL Player Prop | Thursday Night Football Week 4
Tee Higgins O/U 64.5 Yards Receiving
Higgins is a special player. He gets overlooked by superstar Ja’Marr Chase, but Higgins deserves to be recognized as a top receiver in the league. He ended last season with back-to-back 100-yard receiving games in the postseason, which included a 100-yard performance in the Super Bowl. Higgins is fresh off his best game of the season last week. He recorded 93 yards on five catches but took a nasty hit to the head by Jets safety Lamarcus Joyner. Higgins comes into this game with full practices underneath his belt on Tuesday and Wednesday, so there is no need for concern for a head or toe injury that he was dealing with on Monday.
This Dolphins defense will have their hands full. Last week, the Bills dominated time of possession. They had the ball for 70% of the game, and multiple players on both sides were cramping up due to the heat. A short week on the road could play a factor in this one. Josh Allen threw for 400 yards, with three receivers going over the 70-yard threshold. In Week 2 against the Ravens, the Dolphins came soaring back in the fourth quarter but allowed Mark Andrews and Rashod Bateman to eclipse 100 yards each. A ton of attention will be on Joe Mixon in the run game and Chase down the field. Higgins can put together a couple of solid 15- to 20-yard receptions to crush this prop.
The total is set at 47.5 points on FanDuel Sportsbook, and both offenses can score fast with four of the top receivers in the league in Higgins, Chase, Jaylen Waddle and Tyreek Hill. Points will be scored early and often, and both teams could very well be playing from behind. Higgins projects for seven catches and 80 yards on prime time tonight.
