Dolphins at Bears 8/14/21 - NFL Betting Picks & Odds
Miami Dolphins vs. Chicago Bears
NFL: 1:00 PM EST
Aug. 14, 2021
TV: NA
Latest Odds : CHI -3.5. Total 35.5
The offense for Miami will be questionable this year. Tua is taking the reigns on the year and while he is healed from his hip injury a lot of doubts swirl about how good he actually is. To make matters worse Miami does not have a strong running attack to help balance any passing threat.
Defensively the Dolphins have ended up playing above their level. Now, the Dolphins did bring in some good talent in the draft, but are changing up their line backing choices and that could make it very difficult for the Dolphins to secure the wins on the year that were expected of them.

How long will it be before the Bears hand the reigns over to Justin Fields? Fields is the quarterback of the future and that will show up here. However, Dalton and Foles are the mentors that the Bears are hoping for and that should give Fields plenty of time to adjust to the NFL level.
Holding true to the Bears teams of the past the Bears are going to have a very strong defense this year. Look for the defense from Chicago to help keep the opponents out of the end zone and that will make it easier for the Bears to get the wins locked down on the year and definitely in this game.

The lack of experience in the NFL and the fact that Tua does not have a rushing attack to help keep the team balanced on the day. The Bears have several quarterback options and all of the quarterbacks have experience except for Fields and his learning curve will be reduced dramatically with the experience helping guide him. Final Score, Chicago Bears win 27-16.
