400-Unit NFL Midweek Must Play - Miami Dolphins
Even though Miami is down to its third-team QB in Tyler Thigpen, I’m banking on the Dolphins’ defense to be the real game-winning unit that takes the field today. Go ahead and lay the points with Miami at home tonight.
As long as Thigpen can avoid the catastrophic mistake that gives the Bears’ points, Miami will be Ok in this one. He was 4-for-6 for 64 yards and a TD pass to TE Anthony Fasano on Sunday in the fourth quarter against the Titans. That TD finished off an 85-yard drive. Miami beat the Titans 29-17, the highest output by their offense all year. The Dolphins also covered as a small one-point home chalk.
Chicago was at home on Sunday beating the rival Vikings 27-13 and cashing as a one-point favorite. The mystery for the Bears is always the play of QB Jay Cutler who has thrown for 1,908 yards but has 12 TDs and a whopping nine INTs. The key for Miami will be the pressure they can put on him. Chicago has allowed an NFL leading 23 sacks and you know the Dolphins’ defensive lineman can see that and wants to get after Cutler and the Bears.
Miami has cashed tickets four of the last five weeks, including each of the last two at home. Chicago comes in on ATS slides of 10-21-2 after a straight-up win, 1-4-1 in November games, 2-9 as road ‘dogs and 2-7 against winning teams. Meanwhile, the Dolphins are riding positive ATS streaks of 10-4 in Week 11 games, 7-3 against teams with a winning record and 4-1 overall.
I will go ahead and lay the points with Miami tonight as the Dolphins won’t skip a beat with Thigpen under center.
