Chicago is going to have to hang in there with defense because the offense is putrid. The Bears 'D' is last in the NFL in total yards, #28 on third down, and last in passing with a ridiculous 117.2 yards passing per game. Rookie QB Justin Fields (2 TDs, 3 INTs, 18 sacks) will make his fifth start here, and the Bears are 6-13 ATS following a loss and 12-25 ATS off a home loss by 10+ points. Defending champion Tampa Bay is home after playing three of four on the road. QB Tom Brady (17 TDs, 3 INTs) leads the third-ranked offense in total yards, they're No. 1 in passing, and third in points (32.5 per game). Chicago likes to run the football, but this is a terrible matchup as Tampa Bay is No. 1 against the rush for the third straight season. The Buccaneers are 9-1 ATS versus teams that allow 5.65 yards per play, and the Bears are 6-18 ATS on the road against offenses that average 27+ points. Play Tampa Bay.
