The Dolphins-Bears betting line had Chicago open as a -3.5 home favorite. The line has come down to -3 and is not likely to drop beyond that point. 70% of the betting action was on Chicago.
Both teams Straight Up and Against The Spread records are the same with Miami 2-3 and Chicago 3-3.
Chicago is 1-10 Against The Spread at home and 7-15-1 ATS in its last 23 games
The Bears are 0-6-1 ATS in their last 7 games after allowing less than 90 yards rushing in their previous game.
Let’s look at some fantasy matchups coming into this game.
Jay Cutler – He went 5-for-7 for 191 yards on passes at least 15 yards downfield in Week 6. The problem for Cutler here is that Miami has allowed the 12th fewest fantasy points against opposing quarterbacks.
Ryan Tannehil – The Bears defense is allowing 7.9 yards per pass attempt. That’s 28th in the league. They’ve also had a dozen takeaways, which makes Tannehil especially vulnerable.
Mike Wallace – The Bears allowance of 7.9 yards per pass attempt should benefit Wallace with 8.4 targets per game.
Matt Forte – He leads the league with 46 receptions. Miami hasn’t been much of a threat against the run this season so expect this fantasy stud to put up more great numbers Sunday.
Alshon Jeffery – Chicago is allowing just 19.4 fantasy points per game (12th fewest) to opposing wideouts despite Jeffery having a team-high 10.8 yards per target.
Martellus Bennett – He is second on the Bears team in targets behind Matt Forte. The Dolphins have permitted the 14th-most fantasy points per game to opposing tight ends.
