Before the bye, the Bears came out of hibernation for the Monday Night matchup as a re-lit Smokin’ Jay Cutler led the Bears to an upset win and only 3 games back of Minnesota at (2-6).  Tampa Bay is playing its third straight home game after a Thursday night thrashing at the hands of the high-flying Falcons.  While the momentum and traditional statistics point to a Bears team that should be able to handle the struggling Bucs team, a closer inspection shows a different story.  The Bucs actually rank 13th in offensive success rate when adjusted for defense and should have some success with Mighty Mouse Martin back at RB for the Bucs.  Conversely, the Bucs defense has had the misfortune of playing high-powered offenses, including the Falcons twice, and they rank a below average 21st in success rate allowed, but better than their 7.4 NYPP would indicate.   The advanced stats model sees value on the home team, so Buccaneers (-1) is a Strong Opinion.  Lean to UNDER (46).
