Look for defense to rule here. The Buccaneers rank No. 2 in run defense and give up the fourth fewest yards. The Bears have given up just three passing TD's, fewest in the league. 
Chicago also draws an extremely banged-up Tampa Bay offense. The Buccaneers won't have O.J. Howard and probably not Chris Godwin. They also could be minus running back Leonard Fournette and LeSean McCoy leaving plodding Ronald Jones to handle the running load. The Bucs' remaining wideouts - Mike Evans, Scotty Miller and Justin Watson - aren't at 100 percent either. Playing on Thursday really hurts the Bucs.
The Bears are a below average running team and Nick Foles looked worse than Mitch Trubisky. Foles was really hurt with no preseason games to get his timing down with his new team. This will be just his second start with the Bears. I'm not expecting much.
