The Dolphins (5-3) bring a high-potency offense to Chicago on Sunday against a Bears team that gave up 49 points to Dallas last weekend. Chicago has also traded away defensive stalwarts Robert Quinn and Roquan Smith the past couple weeks, which could be a sign to roster plenty of Miami players on your fantasy football teams prior to this Dolphins vs Bears matchup.
Before Betting on Dolphins vs Bears
Chicago didn’t just trade away players recently, they also acquired one getting WR Chase Claypool from the Steelers for a 2nd round draft pick. He’s only been with the team for a couple days, but adding a 6’4″ frame can only be seen as a good thing for an improving Bears offense. Chicago beat New England 33-14 two Mondays ago (on the road) and put up some points in the 49-29 loss in Dallas last Sunday.
While Claypool might not resonate as much as the big names Miami has across the field like Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, the Dolphins offense might not be as high-flying as we think. Sure they rank #3 in passing with 292.5 ypg, but were held to 17 points or less in four straight games prior to last week’s 31-27 win over Detroit. Tua Tagovailoa did go 29/36 for 382 yards and 3 TDs, but the Lions also have the worst defense in the NFL.

Dolphins vs Bears Prediction & Pick
Earlier in the week it looked like storms were going to pass through Chicago but the forecast seems to have cleared up. Fans can rejoice at that as we get to see Tagovailoa and Bears QB Justin Fields in a downright duel. This should be a high-scoring ping pong match.
Pick: Over 46
