00:00let's just preview the final game on the slate today it will be tampa bay against chicago uh
00:05you know i'll reiterate everything from the beginning of the season i still think the bears
00:09are the team to beat still think they're the team to probably go to the super bowl and probably win
00:13the super bowl but sometimes there are spots on a board that aren't the best the bears are
00:20throttling and derailing everyone they're six and a half point favorites uh over tampa bay
00:25but let's remember joe that they're not going to win and cover every game this season i i suspect
00:30there's a great shot for them to win and cover this game but the bucks are a very peculiar team
00:36they just are hell-bent now and i know the weather was horrible last week we saw we talked about
00:40that
00:41before the game but they have just decided hey we're giving bucky irving 30 carries a game we're
00:45going to give gainwell 10 and baker mayfield may throw five or 10 passes for whatever reason
00:50that's the secret sauce to making that work now joe the issue for that for the bears covering
00:55not winning but covering the six and a half is if this is the bears game if this is the
00:58bucks game
00:59plan you don't really have to do much to cover seven points in the nfl if you're running the ball
01:0430 to 40 times so i do suspect the bears win this one but i don't know something about this
01:12one tells me
01:12you know check back in fourth quarter game on the line game tied bears need to make a play or
01:17two
01:18and also the other thing for me is that i'm a buy low sell high guy and this is the
01:23high right now for
01:24the bears i think like i don't know how much higher it's going to get everybody's on the bears band
01:28bandwagon at this point so uh it's a pass for me but i would lean toward the points with the
01:32bucks
01:33but i do think the bears can win normally i would agree wholeheartedly with you but baker mayfield as
01:38the as the underdog is always where i like to live just not right now i am not sold that
01:45baker mayfield
01:45is healthy uh i think he's come back early from this thumb issue and he had 67 yards passing in
01:51that
01:51first game in return and i know last week the weather was really poor but he had zero yards
01:55passing last week so is this a combination of where maybe just weird game scripts and odd things
02:01happening or is this more we're hiding baker mayfield he's not healthy but we want him
02:07under center as opposed to some undrafted rookie i don't know the answer to that so i'll take
02:11the bears with the six and a half there because i do think the bears are the class and i
02:14think
02:14that simmons acquisition has just changed the dynamic of the leadership on that defense to a
02:18very high degree
02:19very high degree
