The NFL preseason has officially kicked off, and this week brings a full slate of preseason games. The Miami Dolphins will take on the Chicago Bears in the first game of 10 matchups Saturday. Kickoff for this game is 1 p.m. ET at Soldier Field. Below, we look at the Dolphins at Bears odds and lines.
The Dolphins are coming off a 10-6 season in which they missed the postseason. They hope to challenge the Buffalo Bills this season with QB Tua Tagovailoa in a full season as the team’s starting quarterback.
For the Bears, this will be the debut of rookie first-round pick QB Justin Fields. One of the biggest storylines of the entire year will be when Fields replaces QB Andy Dalton as the Bears’ starter. Chicago hopes to build off an 8-8 season with eyes on the postseason.
