The 2-6 Chicago Bears are coming off their bye week as healthy and rested as they have been all season. They even have a tiny bit of momentum heading into the game, having won their last game before the break.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are in a similar boat as the Bears as injuries have hurt their development and contributed to their 3-5 record. The Bucs are losers of two straight and post an 0-4 home record. Bears fans travel well and I expect a fair amount of Navy and Orange in the stands at Raymond James Stadium, so I hope that doesn’t confuse the Bucs into thinking this is a road game.
