Oddsmakers from online sports book SBGGLOBAL.com have made the Dolphins 1.5-point favorites over the Bears in Week 11. The over/under total for this game is currently 39.5 points.
The Bears enter Thursday’s game with a 6-3 record overall but are just 4-4-1 against the spread. They’re 2-1 on the road this year and have covered in two of those three games away from Solider Field.
After beating the Titans last Sunday, the Dolphins are now 5-4 straight up and have covered in six of their first nine games. They’re just 1-3 at home this year and 2-2 against the spread.
Our Week 11 NFL Free Pick:
With Tyler Thigpen starting at quarterback, expect the Dolphins to keep the ball on the ground as much as possible. Thigpen doesn’t offer Miami that big strike capability in the passing game, so we expect to see a lot of Ronnie Brown in the Wildcat. The under is 5-0 in the Bears’ last five games in November and 4-1 in their last five games in Week 11. It’s also 6-1 in their last seven games overall and 4-1 in the Dolphins’ last five games in Week 11. Our pick is the under 40 tonight.
