Chi +3 vs TB (41)
Great start to the season for TB, as although they played like crap most of the game, they got the drives they needed, the turnovers required and snuck out of Minny with an upset win.
As for the Bears - well you all know my thoughts on this pathetic joke of a football team.
I would take the Bears in this spot, if they were getting 30 points lol, but it is unlikely you will see me bet on the Bears all season.
As for betting against them, I just can’t do it, as I don’t believe in the Bucs even if all they have to do is win by 3.
We are looking to take the Under here and I am shocked this number is 39.
Sure TB put up 20 last week and so did the Bears, but Chicago’s 20 was phoney and again Fields couldn’t really move the ball. They put up 189 yards of offense and like last year are going to be a run first football team.
As for the Bucks, they only put up 242 yards of offense and did even worse than the Bears in passing, not even breaking 169.
So here we have 2 teams that will run the ball a ton - 2 teams that absolutely struggle in the red zone - 2 teams that will kick more FGs than score TDs and 2 teams that will play to the under all season long.
Yes, both defenses suck ass I get it and we should see more yards by both teams then we did last week - but I don’t think we see a ton of actual TDS in this game.
I would not be surprised if this game ends 17-13 which is 12 points less than the total.
