Prop Bets: Miami Dolphins VS Chicago Bears 2025-08-10

Miami Dolphins (-3) vs. Chicago Bears: A Preseason Thriller Where "Thriller" Means "Boring"

The Miami Dolphins, fresh off a training camp where their injured list reads like a cast of The Walking Dead (Kenneth Grant, Quinn Ewers, Ollie Gordon II—oh my!), will face the Chicago Bears, whose own medical tent could host a small town meeting (Caleb Williams, Kyle Monangai, etc.). The Bears are favored at -160 (FanDuel), implying a 61.5% chance to win, while the Dolphins’ +143 line (Caesars) suggests bookmakers think Miami’s odds are as slim as a rookie QB’s patience during a 3-hour scrimmage.

Spread Alert: The Bears are -3 favorites, but don’t expect a rout. Most starters will exit early, leaving backups like Zach Wilson (Dolphins) and Tyson Bagent (Bears) to duel in a game where “excitement” is defined as “a fumble returned for a touchdown… by a special teams player.” The spread is tight: Bears -3.0 (-110) and Dolphins +3.0 (-110) at multiple books, while LowVig.ag and Bovada oddly offer -3.5 lines. Take the Dolphins +3.5 if you enjoy betting on chaos.

Total: The Over/Under is 36.5-37 points, with most books pricing it at -110. With both teams likely resting stars, this could be the first NFL game where the combined score is lower than the number of training camp tryouts.

Player Props? Not many, but if you must gamble:
- Zach Wilson (Dolphins QB) to throw a pick-six: +400 (implied 20% chance).
- Alexander Mattison (Dolphins RB) to outgain the Bears’ entire offense: +600 (because why not?).

Final Prediction: The Bears win 14-10, but the real winner is anyone who bets the Dolphins +3.5. Preseason is a circus, and this game will feature acrobatic injuries, a halftime show by the team trainers, and a final score that makes you question whether the scoreboard was on a 3-day coffee hiatus.

Place your bets. Then cry when the Dolphins start 0-2 in the preseason. 🏈💸
