The Miami Dolphins have found their stride and have won back-to-back games in Week 7 and 8, beating the Pittsburgh Steelers and Detroit Lions. They started the year with three-straight wins and now look to match that with a third-straight victory as they head to Illinois to face the Chicago Bears. With quarterback Tua Tagovailoa having shaken off the rust from two weeks of being sidelined by a concussion, and with wide receivers Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle putting up video game numbers every week, Miami looks like they are a team who can compete with anyone.
The Bears come into today’s game looking to rebound after losing to the Dallas Cowboys last week. They are 3-5 on the season and in third place in the NFC North, though they are tied with the Green Bay Packers. They both sold and bought during the buildup to this week’s NFL trade deadline, sending away linebacker Roquan Smith, a week after shipping off defensive end Robert Quinn, then acquiring wide receiver Chase Claypool from the Pittsburgh Steelers. Who will this Bears team be when kickoff arrives this afternoon?
The Dolphins are listed as 4.5-point favorites as of Sunday morning, according to DraftKings Sportsbook. The total score is set at 45.5 points.
