Experts pick Bucs over Bears......... By: Bryan Perez | 24 minutes ago
The last time the Bears took the field in Week 8 against the Minnesota Vikings on Halloween night, they pulled off what looked like a huge upset to improve to 2-6 before breaking for their bye. Heading into Week 10, it appears they’ve lost momentum in the eyes of the experts.
Chicago will travel to Raymond James Stadium to take on the 3-5 Buccanneers in a game that is very winnable for coach John Fox and company. According to the experts, however, they’re going to lose.
More than half of analysts polled — 57-percent to be exact — are picking the Jameis Winston-led Buccanneers to defeat the Bears in a game that is a must-win for both teams’ playoff hopes.
Chicago is entering Week 10 the healthiest they’ve been since opening day. Jay Cutler is coming off a fantastic performance against the Vikings, combining with rookie running back Jordan Howard to form a balanced offensive attack that should enjoy a lot more success than it had during the first half of the season.
If the Bears lose to the Buccanneers, any hope they have to climb back into a very average NFC North will evaporate. Week 10 represents the first of eight playoff games for Chicago. It’s do-or-die from here on out.
Really? wow. I think we win this game. And I still have not been able to decide if I want to win it or not. I have no idea if we can win the division, but I honestly think there is a chance based on the play in this division so I am leaning towards wanting the win.
As usual, i guessed wrong. This was a game we should have won.
This isn't the Vikings offense. Winston can throw it deep and Evans will expose our secondary. Unless our offense can keep up in pace I don't see us winning this one.
Crazy that I predicted the outcome.
Not really, I used what I know about Cutler to predict it. Our offense couldn't do anything which in turn kept the buc's defense fresh while our defense got tired.
I honestly thought we'd blow the Bucs out. Then Cutler crapped the bed early and often :-(
Took a last second hail mary, and a bad tip by conte to give the Bears their TD. Bears O was really held to 3 points.
This O output matches the Matt Barkley game. Even Hoyer was giving the Bears at least 16. Regardless of who is at QB, this is a team that has only scored 23 pt's 1 time this year; and only reached 20 one other time. Pathetic.
