Miami Dolphins at Chicago Bears SBG Odds Overview
On this occasion, Andy Dalton and Justin Fields will make their Bears debuts. Third-stringer Nick Foles should see action as well. But all eyes will be on Fields. Chicago’s quarterback situation means that live betting will get quite the sportsbook spike. First on the depth chart for Miami is Tua. But Jacoby Brissett and Reid Sinnett will battle for the number two QB position.
Miami Dolphins Team Overview
Brian Flores begins his third season as Dolphins coach. Last year Miami improved from 5-11 to 10-6 and barely missed the playoffs. Flores is one of the few Bill Belichick New England assistants that has a chance for success. Along with general manager Chris Grier, the Dolphins have leadership and direction that used to be missing. Owner Stephen Ross has been through a lot of managers and coaches. Finally, there is the sense that Ross has gotten it right.
Chicago Bears Team Overview
Matt Nagy has a spectacular rookie season as Bears head coach. To illustrate, Nagy led the Bears to the NFC North championship. But from there, it’s all been downhill. Mitch Trubisky flamed out as a quarterback. And Nick Foles never reached his Philadelphia Super Bowl form. Nagy was almost fired after the 2020 campaign. Now he gets a reprieve. But there is no margin for error. Most important of all will be the development of Justin Fields.
