Miami Dolphins vs Chicago Bears Predictions | 2025 NFL Preseason Week 1 Picks | 8/10/25

the early game on Sunday at 1:00 Eastern is Dolphins and Bears. Um, Bears have a new head coach, right? And we always talk about motivation in the preseason. So, I’m curious your thoughts on this game. Yeah, let’s talk about Miami and Chicago early start NFL preseason action on Sunday. And of course, uh, right now looking at the odds logic live odds screen, I’m seeing the Bears minus3 total in this game sitting 34 and a half, 35. Now for Miami, we’ve seen Tua look really good in camp, but it doesn’t look like he’s going to play. Uh, Zack Wilson and Quinn Uers. Quinn Yu is a sixrounder out of Texas. Should get ample of playing time. Wilson, you know, is is pretty much locked into the backup job. You are going to try for it, but again, a six- round rookie not likely to get there. The quotes was yours is managing the playbook well. There’s a nineday install process that he’s just gone through. Uh offensive quarter Darren Beville quote every day talking about uh you know viewers who’s gonna be on the field when this point spreads decided quote every day comes out and gets a little bit better. He’s putting a lot of good stuff on tape doesn’t make a lot of mistakes. When he makes a mistake we’re able to get it corrected. He’s willing to work on the little details we’re asking him to and we’re happy with where he’s at. Viewers quote I’m still learning trying to play my game at the end of the day and have fun doing it. I feel like I’m playing faster every day and have a good grasp of what’s been installed so far. The quotes to me reading between the lines is no, he’s not ready. You know, I know the quotes are saying, “Yes, I’m ready. Yeah, he’s getting a little bit better every day. He’s seeing things clearly. I don’t think Gwen your is ready.” And those quotes are both telling me, “Yeah, the install’s getting there. You know, it’s not an easy offense that they’re running down in Miami.” And I would expect some mistakes from this young QB. These two teams just had a joint practice session. It wasn’t pretty for Miami. The Bears physically manhandled them. Both squad, both sides of the football. In particular, the Bear Dennis Allen’s defense ate up Miami’s offense. And for Chicago, they too have a bunch of installs that they’ve been working on for a new offense under Ben Johnson. That being said, there were issues last week at this time with that offense. I didn’t get any sense that that’s going on this week at this time. And when you talk about a QB trio that you might want your money, I don’t know how much Caleb Williams we’re going to see. Not much. In fact, none. Tyson Beagent is going to be or Bageant’s going to be the starter. And then we got Case Keenum and Austin Reed. Keenum’s been a starter in the league. Reed’s been in this system uh and was good in the preseason last August. And uh the reports from Chicago as Beijing looking really good so far. So uh even though it’s a new system and a new offense in Chicago, I think they’re a little bit ahead of the curve right now. And there’s certainly urgency when you talk about playing at home with a new coach in his first. Again, he’s not going to freak out if they lose, but it feels like the Bears are going to play well uh in that early start game tomorrow. If I’m playing, I’m laying with Chicago.

  8. Miami's defense pushed the oline of the Bears around and the Dolphins starting Center, RG, RT are all out for the Bears scrimmages and the pre-season game. So we shall see how the Dolphins do with their back ups starting the game their only true starters are on the LG, LT side other wise they didnt have their starters. LOL !!! Bragging about who dominated a PRACTICE scrimmages is hilarious especially when Miami is missing 3 starters of their oline. LOL😂😂😂
    We shall see who wins but to me it doesnt matter because pre-season is really for the coaching staff.
