Dolphins vs. Panthers, Lions vs. Bengals
Post sports gambling editor/producer and digital sports editor Matt Ehalt is back for his second season in the NFL Bettor’s Guide.
Dolphins (+1.5) over PANTHERS
It’s dangerous to back the Dolphins here, considering the team is just an overall mess and just lost Tyreek Hill to a gruesome injury suffered against the Jets on Monday night.

However, the Panthers may be even more of a mess entering Week 5.
Bryce Young is not taking that next step in his third year, running back Chuba Hubbard may miss the game, and the defense just allowed 42 points to the mediocre Patriots in a non-competitive showing.
The Dolphins, while also 1-3, have been more competitive and have offensive pieces in Tua Tagovailoa, Jaylen Waddle, and De’Von Achane who should take advantage of Carolina’s bottom-half defense.
Miami should have just enough to escape Charlotte with a win — and a winning streak.
Lions (-10.5) over BENGALS
Picking massive road favorites can be a foolish endeavor, but the Bengals have been horrendous since Joe Burrow exited with his turf toe injury.
Despite a plethora of weapons, Jake Browning has led Cincinnati to just 13 combined points over the past weeks against the Vikings and Broncos, respectively.
Running back Chase Brown has been ineffective, while star receivers Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins have been completely neutralized.
Betting on the NFL?
The Lions, meanwhile, have been an offensive juggernaut since being shut down by Green Bay in Week 1.
They’ve averaged 41.3 points over their last three games, including 34 points against a solid Browns defense last week.
While Detroit’s defense is a step below Minnesota’s and Denver’s, the Bengals don’t have the QB to keep up.
Bet on another Lions blowout that forces the Bengals to consider a quarterback change.
2025 record: 2-5-1
Last week: 0-2; Buccaneers (L); Ravens (L)
