Tampa Bay and Chicago square off tonight and there’s injuries abound. So let’s first figure out what we know about these two teams
- The way to attack the Bears is on the ground and that’s where Tampa seems thin, so I expect lots of quick passing to ensure Brady stay’s upright.
- This doesn’t feel like a great match-up for Tampa Bay to me with lots of guys banged up.
- The Bears offense should be able to move the ball so long as Foles picks up any Blitz’s from the Bucs. I could see Foles & Bucs D correlating well together because he’ll take 4+ sacks and then have to air it out. I would not be shocked to see those two together in a Showdown winning lineup tonight.
GAME WINNER BET
UNDER 44.5
Lots of yards, lots of field goals.
GAME CAPTAIN
Nick Foles – QB – Bears
See above, I think he’ll go over 300 yards tonight because you cannot run on the Bucs and Foles getting his second start of the season will be better considering he faced a stout pass defense last week in the Colts.
