00:00 As we move forward, is this an overreaction?
00:02 The next game we're going to talk about to last week as the
00:04 Buccaneers end up beating the Vikings.
00:06 I did not anticipate Tampa Bay being a favorite in almost any
00:10 game this year, but I guess based on the way that the Bears
00:12 played, they're just telling you it's more or less a pick 'em
00:15 game.
00:16 A Bears getting three, Bucs three point favorite.
00:18 And look at this total 41 and a half going into Sunday.
00:23 Hey Jacob, I kind of feel like this game is tied in the third
00:27 and some teams just make, either one of these teams makes a big
00:29 mistake and that ends up being the game here.
00:32 This is a tough one to call for me.
00:34 Any opinion?
00:34 I think I like the Bears here because you're getting a good
00:38 number with them.
00:39 I think it's an overreaction to the Buccaneers beating the
00:42 Vikings.
00:42 I know the Vikings were 13 and four and made the playoffs last
00:45 year, but they won so many close games in Kevin O'Connell's first
00:49 season that I'm just not willing to look at the Vikings and say,
00:53 oh my goodness, the Buccaneers just beat a great team.
00:55 I think the Buccaneers played a team that was having a little
00:58 bit of a shaky defense and that also was playing on a short week
01:02 going into week two, where they might've been looking ahead to
01:05 the Eagles.
01:05 So I think the Buccaneers are a little overrated here.
01:08 I think this might end up being a close game.
01:11 So if you take the Bears as an underdog, I think they can win.
01:13 And as bad as they looked against the Packers, I'm not
01:16 convinced that the Buccaneers are going to do as well.
01:19 They got a lot of pressure on Kirk Cousins, but Kirk Cousins
01:22 isn't as mobile as Justin Fields.
01:24 So I think Fields can scramble out of trouble a little more in
01:27 this matchup, maybe find his weapons a bit more.
01:29 I know it's not fun to back a team that looked really bad in
01:32 week one, like the Bears, but the Buccaneers just shouldn't be
01:35 favored in this spot.
01:36 I don't think they're that much better than the Bears if they
01:39 are even better than them at all.
01:40 So I'm happy to back Chicago here.
01:42 I'm not going to bet a ton on this one though, because like
01:44 you said, this might not end up being the most exciting matchup
