The Chicago Sun-Times’ experts offer their predictions for the Bears’ game Sunday at the Dolphins:

RICK MORRISSEY

Bears, 27-20

The Bears’ defense has been consistently good and consistently nasty this season. Hard to see Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill, who has struggled the last two weeks, having much success. Season: 4-0.

RICK TELANDER

Bears, 24-20

How can you jump off a bandwagon when it just started rolling? You can’t. Mitch Trubisky should not get cocky — just hold the throttles while the ”D” does its thing. Season: 4-0.

ADAM L. JAHNS

Bears, 27-10

The Dolphins’ offensive line is banged up, and that plays right into the strength of the Bears’ defense. Khalil Mack, Akiem Hicks and friends should enjoy themselves in Florida. Season: 3-1.

PATRICK FINLEY

Dolphins, 18-17

Winning on the road is hard — the Bears have done it only three times in their last 18 tries. Winning on the road when you’ve had a bye week to bask in your 3-1 record is harder. To quote Admiral Ackbar: It’s a trap! Season: 3-1.

MARK POTASH

Bears, 23-17

It remains to be seen if a week off will help or hurt the Bears after a rout of the Buccaneers, but odds are the momentum at Halas Hall is real. Season: 4-0.

By pure circumstance, USC quarterback Caleb Williams was on the same flight to Detroit on Tuesday as Washington wide receiver Rome Odunze. Time will tell whether they’re on the same flight out of Detroit — and to Chicago — on Friday morning.
