Buccaneers vs. Bears 2014 picks and predictions: Chicago the overwhelming favorite

Only a few brave soles are picking the Bucs.

The Chicago Bears have been a mess recently, but not to the point that they'll lose to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday, right? Right?

Chicago managed to get off of its three-game losing skid -- which included giving up more than 50 points in consecutive games against the New England Patriots and Green Bay Packers -- with a 21-13 win over the Minnesota Vikings last Sunday. That would suggest that the Bears' slide has already seen its low point, and a loss to the two-win Bucs at home isn't likely. But you never know -- remember, Tampa Bay did manage to sneak up on the Pittsburgh Steelers back in Week 4.

The experts aren’t giving the upset much of a chance, though. The Bears are a clean sweep at ESPN, and only four of Fox Sports‘ and CBS Sports’ combined 14 panelists are going with the Bucs. At SB Nation, Ryan Van Bibber is the only one willing to go out on a limb and pick Tampa Bay.
