Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Chicago Bears

After weeks of picking the Bears with the expectation that their offense would find SOME kind of success and then continually getting let down they finally came through for me last week. No reason to jump off the bandwagon now with the Buccaneers coming to town. With the exception of Mike Evans, I just don’t think Tampa Bay has the weapons to keep pace with the Bears. Then again, Chicago has let me down before.

Bears 27

Arizona Cardinals at Seattle Seahawks

This should be a really good and very interesting game. Despite their season being a bit of a let down, the Seahawks are still 4-1 at home with wins over Green Bay and Denver. The Cardinals come to town with the best record in the NFL, but starting Drew Stanton. Stanton looked great last week, but having to play in Seattle with that crowd noise will be a true test. While I don’t think Russell Wilson will have a lot of luck throwing the football I think he’ll create just enough plays with his legs to pull out a close win for the defending champs.
