The Chicago Bears are riding high after a 34-17 statement win over the defending Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks on their own turf on Monday night. They'll hope to stay in the winning column with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers coming to town on Sunday night.
While the Bucs might not boast an impressive record (3-5), they're 2-0 since quarterback Baker Mayfield returned to the lineup after dislocating his thumb in their Week 3 clash against Minnesota. Both wins were blowouts against their division rivals. They're coming to Chicago with a healthy dose of momentum.
Notably, they're also coming to Soldier Field with the league's best rushing attack, averaging 168.6 yards on the ground. Jeffery Simmons and Co. will hope to have similar success against their stout offensive line as they did against Seattle, as they held them to 81 yards on 19 attempts (which included two Sam Darnold scrambles for 20 yards).
Vegas likes Chicago's odds of moving to 6-2 on the season. According to DraftKings Sportsbook, the Bears are 6.5-point favorites on Sunday night.
