The Miami Dolphins'(5-3) travel to Soldier Field to battle the Chicago Bears (3-5) Sunday at 1 p.m. ET (CBS). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Dolphins vs. Bears odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.
After starting the season 3-0, the Dolphins struggled without Tua Tagovailoa at QB, losing their next 3 games. Since his return, the Dolphins have returned to form and won their last 2 matchups, including a comeback win Sunday in Detroit where Miami erased a 21-0 deficit to win 31-27.
The key to the success of Miami is the connection Tua has built with new WR Tyreek Hill, who came over from the Chiefs in an off-season trade. Hill' has 4 games of 160 yards or more this season; the record for any season is 6. With the way he and Tua are connecting, he may just get there.
The Bears shocked everyone with a dominant 33-14 win over the New England Patriots on Monday Night Football. They followed that up by being blitzed by Dallas 49-29 last Sunday. They now return home hoping the play of QB Justin Fields can continue to improve.
