I think bugstud has a point. Not so much that the Bears offense could probably only score two TDs in this game by themselves. I'm not sure that Cody Pickett can take care of the ball enough against the Bears. There will be a ton of short fields and chances for the defense to score.

Barlow and Gore are more slashing type runners and the Bears have done a fine job at shutting down those guys this year, it is only if you have a real north south power runner the Bears have problems against.

Plus, they can stack the box a bit and come after Pickett. With no Simion Rice the Bucs defense dominated the 49ers with Dorsey who is better than Pickett. They where able to hold them to field goals when Simms turned the ball over. It will be important for Kyle Orton to take care of the ball. Of course what game this year hasn't that been true. And there has really only been one game where he didn't.

I think the Bears have a good shot to cover with the match-up. They took the Saints too lightly last week and I can't see them making the same mistake two weeks in a row. I wouldn't bet on it, I just don't think that it is the sweet line everone thinks it is.
