4* Free Week 2 NFL Betting Prediction: Chicago +3
For this matchup between the Bears and Buccaneers, my point spread prediction is in favor of the Bears covering on the road.
I remain optimistic about the Bears’ defense this season. With notable acquisitions such as Edmunds, Edwards, along with the talents of Dexter and Zacch Pickens at defensive tackle, and the presence of Stevenson, there’s every reason to anticipate a strong performance from this revamped Bears defense.
They are currently receiving 3 points, and I expect them to cover this spread.
After crunching the numbers, our model is pointing to this game finishing with a combined 37 points.
Last week Tampa’s D played well enough to deliver their fans a win, and I think they’ve found a recipe to success to keep their team in games. This projection has me feeling good about taking the under 41.5.
Baker and Fields will both be kept in check in a game that will come down to a 4th quarter FG.
