Chicago @ Tampa Bay

Current Records: Chicago 3-3; Tampa Bay 5-1

What to Know

The Chicago Bears will head out on the road to face off against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at 4:25 p.m. ET Sunday at Raymond James Stadium. Tampa Bay will be strutting in after a win while the Bears will be stumbling in from a defeat.

Chicago came up short against the Green Bay Packers last week, falling 24-14. A silver lining for Chicago was the play of RB Khalil Herbert, who punched in one rushing touchdown.

Meanwhile, Tampa Bay was hampered by 120 penalty yards against the Philadelphia Eagles last Thursday, but luckily for them that wasn't the tale of the game. Tampa Bay snuck past Philadelphia with a 28-22 victory. The squad ran away with 21 points in the first half and mostly just sat on those in the second to pick up the win. Among those leading the charge for the Buccaneers was RB Leonard Fournette, who punched in two rushing touchdowns.

The Bears are the clear underdogs, so they're hoping it's the size of the fight that determines this one. Those burned by picking them against the spread last week might want to keep in mind that the team has not yet dropped back-to-back games against the spread this season.

Chicago is now 3-3 while Tampa Bay sits at 5-1. Tampa Bay is 3-1 after wins this season, and Chicago is 2-0 after losses.
