We got a win against the Titans but it was a very costly win as a lot of key players got injured during that game. I'm not really worried that Tyler is starting in this game more than I am worried about the injuries to our offensive line. Tyler is very mobile (not Vick mobile) but will need the time as he seems to try and force the ball in tight situations. I remember last season when he game into a game and almost led the Dolphins in comeback victory but threw it on 1st down in the red zone in very tight coverage for an int...I'm hoping he learned his lesson but if he didn't then I guess Ramsey will come in after only being on the team for 2 days and...

Henne is not out of the question as of yet for this game but I'm not sure if that's a good thing as he was very inconsistent healthy I can't imagine how he will play injured.

Our starters Long and Carey are injured on offense and defensively Wake, Bell, among others are banged up so we have young corners out there trying to defend Cutler and co.

Both teams are coming off victories and a short week. Miami finally won a game at home so aside from the injuries I'm hoping that we can build on that come Thursday but it looks very dim for my Dolphins come Thursday.

Good luck

Jake Long was back at practice today for the Dolphins but still banged up...not sure how effective he will be on Thursday but it looks like he will play.

Cam Wake was back at practice and seems ok...Chris Clemons was still out of practice today so it looks like rookie Reshad Jones will get the start. He did look pretty solid coming into the Titans game and getting his first sack and interception of the season.

Henne was still not at practice today but Ramsey was...I guess if worse comes to worse Ronnie Brown will be our 3rd string QB running the wildcat the entire time.

    Hard to figure if Cutler is going to have one of his multiple TO days. I rate this game as close to a pick 'em. I  think the Bears D is the difference maker here.

CHICAGO    + 1

Chicago - 24                               Miami - 21

Bears +1                               over 41

The Monsters of the Midway flex their muscles down on South Beach. Da Bears feast on Dolphin. It helps to know that the Dolphins go belly up playing at home after a su dog win.

Bears - Over

I heard today that Long will play barring any setbacks. As good as Long is, I think are line would still be pretty good without him. I have high expectations for the John Jerry.

Not sure if Sparano has revealed whom his starting QB will be, but I fully expect it to be Thigpen.

Either way Miami is the better team in a better situation.

ok this one is a little tricky... first of all the line is totally wrong i mean hell, why is miami favored in the first place? to me the line should be Da Bears -1 or throw a hook in there if your greedy.... on some sites i seen where it opened at miami -3 WTF??...  oh yeah and the 3RD!! string quarterback is gonna start the game for the dolphins... yeah yeah yeah i know i watched ol tyler throw a touchdown last week, but i mean lets see here if he could go out and do that everyweek why is he behind THA CHADS!... with no explosive offense expected from thigpen in the pass game on the other hand chicago's D has only giving up 79 yards on the ground in there last three games. i look for the bears defense to stop the run and keep pressure on thigpen on 3rd down.. i look for 2 turnovers from each team but the BEARS coming out on top 30-26

Da BEARS!! +1.5
