Buccaneers vs. Bears: Trading Preview
Both teams have dealt with quarterback injuries this season, but each has found recent success. The Bears have won three straight games, including a Monday night victory in Seattle, with Caleb Williams back and healthy after a hamstring injury caused him to miss a few games. Chicago also upgraded its defensive line by trading for former Tennessee star Jeffrey Simmons ahead of Week 8.
The Buccaneers got Baker Mayfield back from a right thumb injury in Week 7. Since his return, he has thrown for just 64 yards — including zero yards and zero completions in Week 8 — yet Tampa Bay has won both of those games. Chicago sits at 6-2, while Tampa Bay is 3-5 after winning three of its last four following an 0-4 start.
According to the SportsLine Projection Model, which simulates every NFL game 10,000 times, the Buccaneers win in 33% of simulations. The model also finds that the teams combine for more than 40.5 points in the majority of simulations.
On Kalshi, a Buccaneers win is priced at $0.29, and a Bears win is $0.72. The market for these teams scoring more than 47.5 total points is $0.49, while less than 46.5 points is $0.52.
