Dolphins vs. Bears Free Pick
CHICAGO, IL (The Spread) – Will the Bears build off of their impressive victory over the Falcons and pick up their first home win of the year when they host the Dolphins at 1:00PM ET today?
ODDS: According to oddsmakers from online sports book Bovada.lv, the Bears are 3.5-point favorites over the Dolphins while the over/under total is currently sitting at 48 points. As of this writing, 75% of public bettors currently favor Chicago minus the points.
LINE MOVEMENT: The Bears opened as 3-point favorites and while some books have left the number at the all-important 3, most sports books have moved the line to 3.5. As for the total, it opened at 48 and hasn’t budged.
SEASON RECORDS: The Bears enter play with a 3-3 record and are 3-3 against the spread this year, while the Dolphins are 2-3 straight up and 2-3 at the betting window. The over is a combined 8-3 in these teams’ 11 games this season.
NFL FREE PICK: Take Chicago. According to latest NFL trends, the Dolphins are just 2-5 against the spread in their last seven games overall, 1-4 ATS in their last five games in October and 1-7 ATS in their last eight games in Week 7. The Bears live and die on Jay Cutler and if the “good” Cutler shows up again today like he did last Sunday in Atlanta, then the Bears should win and cover this game easily. If not, then it’s going to be a tight game throughout as Miami played Green Bay tough last week at home. That said, the Bears have more than enough talent to cover a small spread and their defense provided hope last week when they held Matt Ryan and Co. to only 13 points in Atlanta.
