Chicago also struggled offensively in the 20-38 loss to the Packers, turning the ball over twice and going 3/13 on third downs. Meanwhile, Tampa Bay’s defense forced three turnovers in their Week 1 win against the Minnesota Vikings.
With Tampa Bay only allowing 47 rushing yards in Week 1, Justin Fields is more likely to throw interceptions if the run game isn’t established. Chicago led the NFL in rushing yards per game last season, so neutralizing the run is huge for the Buccaneers covering a 3.0-point spread on Sunday.
