The Bears are massive underdogs against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this Sunday. You know this to be true. We know this to be verifiable and correct. Everyone knows and understands why.
The Buccaneers, fresh off a victory in Super Bowl LV, are 5-1 and charging along with the arguable greatest quarterback ever, Tom Brady, still kicking. An injured defense (for now) aside, this is still a squad that will likely be playing deep into January. They are built for playoff football, and most any opposition that plays against them will face long odds. The Bears, in this respect, regardless of their flaws, are not unique.
