Dolphins at Bears (-3.5): O/U 37.0
Tua Tagovailoa versus Justin Fields today.
Well, not at the same time, but still, this is the future.
We should see limited action for Tagovailoa, while Fields should see extended time. The Bears will play Andy Dalton, Nick Foles and Justin Fields, so it is hard not to back Chicago.
However, Brian Flores is 3-1 in the preseason with the Dolphins, while Matt Nagy is 0-3 with the Bears. With that being said, a +3.5 underdog spread is worth eyeing for Miami.
Jacoby Brissett should get plenty of run and enough experience to keep the second-half close, so target Miami live-game if they are down early.
The best bet is probably Chicago to score more than 20 points as they have three quarterbacks that could start Week 1.
Chicago should have plenty of offense and when Fields is under center, the Bears should present some issues for the Dolphins’ second and third units.
Edge: Bears Team Total Over 20 (-121)

Broncos (-2.5) at Vikings: 34.0
Denver gets the favorite road tag as the quarterback competition between Drew Lock and Teddy Bridgewater is officially underway.
The Vikings will throw Kirk Cousins and Kellen Mond out there, but that will not be enough to convince me to back Minnesota.
Cousins will likely play a few drives, while Mond will play at least a quarter and half, if not two-plus.
The Vikings stars and veterans will likely play very limited time, while the Broncos have more competition battles and key positions worth considering.
Denver has a ton of young and exciting talent and could score 20-plus points, like Chicago.
The Broncos struggled with 15 or fewer points in four of their five 2019 preseason games, but their quarterback position is more competitive now and that is the most important factor during the preseason.
Minnesota scored 20 or more points in all four games of their 2019 preseason but I doubt It happens here, so I will stay away from their total.
I would target the Broncos ML or their Team Total in this matchup.
Edge: Broncos Team Total Over 18.0 (-121) or Broncos ML (-140)
