Tampa Bay a huge -12.5, -800 favorite, Team total 30.5(TB), 17.5(CHI), Last year was an outright upset by the Bears 20-19. That was his first loss to the Bears he now sits 5-1 in 6 games. He has gone 308 yards per game, 15 TD, 4 INT, and a 105.3 passer rating. The time before that in Patriot uniform saw him win 38-31. Mack has 3 sacks against Brady, most by any player in last 5 years. Fields has 39% completion percent against the blitz, and Tampa blitz’s more than anyone else. The Bears 7th in rushing offense matchup against Tampa who has allowed 329 yards rushing through 6 games.
At what point and time is the spread too much? are we having unrealistic expectations for Brady to win. With the total at 47 it makes you think why is it so low in this one. Well they upset the future world champs last year and held him to 19 points. The Bucs 1st in passing offense face the 8th overall defense, 9th in passing allowing only 218 per game.
My prediction is under and Tampa win, which may or may not cover that huge spread.
