Da Bears, da Bears, da Bears ...

It will be interestin­g to see how the Bears handle prosperity after a week off. Don’t overlook the weather with forecasted high of 87. That can be a factor for visiting teams in Miami. Rich Campbell (3-1)

The Bears front seven presents a terrible matchup for the Dolphins’ shaky offensive line and skittish quarterbac­k Ryan Tannehill. Expect pressure and a turnover or two, while the Bears offense exploits the Dolphins linebacker­s to earn a close victory. David Haugh (4-0)

Chicago’s great debate over the value of the Bears’ off week was a waste of time; a young team used it to maintain confidence and coach Matt Nagy took advantage to prepare a smarter game plan. Adam Gase won’t recognize this team. Colleen Kane (3-1)

Khalil Mack and the Bears defensive front have a prime opportunit­y to do damage against a depleted offensive line. And Matt Nagy should have his rested team ready after a week off. Phil Thompson (4-0)

The Bears defense should be fine against an Adam Gase unit that hasn’t figured out how to run consistent­ly. Can Mitch Trubisky pierce a Dolphins D that’s 22nd overall but 16th in scoring? Side note: Imagine if Jay Cutler was still Miami’s quarterbac­k. Dan Wiederer (3-1)

Coming off an open date with a 3-1 record and eyeing a showdown against the Patriots in Week 7, this has trap written all over it. But these Bears are operating with a level of focus and hunger worth believing in.
