1. Mitch Trubisky keeps his hot streak going against the Miami Dolphins

I’m in no way predicting that Mitch Trubisky will have another six touchdown game this weekend. That game was a perfect storm with the Chicago Bears defense also helping by creating turnovers. However, that doesn’t mean Trubisky is due for a major regression this week.

The Miami Dolphins defense is allowing over 270  yards per game. They are entering this week with a string of injuries that could keep Cameron Wake and Bobby McCain off the field.

Also working in Trubisky’s favor is the fact the Bears are coming off their bye week. Trubisky has shown great success on opening drives where he’s working off a scripted plan. The extra practice time should allow Matt Nagy to extend his opening game script.

Chicago’s defense should again play a role in any of Trubisky’s success. Miami is currently one of six NFL teams averaging less than 20 points per game. Their offensive line has had some major issues and will have a tough time dealing with Khalil Mack and company.

The only real negative here for Trubisky is the fact that the game is on the road. However, that isn’t enough to change my prediction.
