This marks the Bears' first home game since a Week 7 win over New England. Tampa Bay comes in at 3-5 but also has its own two-game winning streak, highlighted by a 16-0 shutout of Atlanta in Week 8.\n\nOn the stat sheet, Baker Mayfield has thrown for 679 passing yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions in his starts this season for Tampa Bay. Chicago's defense, meanwhile, has racked up 22 sacks, setting up a stern protection test for the Buccaneers' offensive line.\n\nChicago is favored by 6.5 points at home, with the Bears' Super Bowl odds reportedly climbing to +650 entering the week. Kickoff is set for Soldier Field as both teams look to extend their winning streaks to three games.","published_at":"2026-11-08T23:05:35.392577+00:00","source_count":6,"written_from":[{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Bears vs. Bucs live updates: Start time, TV channel for Week 9 game","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/bears-vs-bucs-live-updates-221525319.html"},{"outlet":"CBS Sports","publisher":"CBS Sports","title":"'Sunday Night Football' prediction, odds, time: Buccaneers vs. Bears picks from expert on a 14-7 roll","url":"https://www.cbssports.com/betting/news/sunday-night-football-prediction-odds-spread-time-bears-buccaneers-expert-picks/"},{"outlet":"New York Post","publisher":"New York Post","title":"Buccaneers vs. Bears ‘SNF’ prediction, picks: Tampa Bay’s stingy defense will challenge Caleb Williams","url":"https://nypost.com/2026/11/08/betting/buccaneers-vs-bears-prediction-nfl-week-9-odds-picks-best-bets-for-snf/"},{"outlet":"Fox Sports","publisher":"Fox Sports","title":"How to Watch Buccaneers vs. Bears: TV Channel, Live Stream, Time","url":"https://www.foxsports.com/stories/nfl/how-to-watch-buccaneers-vs-bears-tv-channel-live-stream-time-nov-8-2026"},{"outlet":"ESPN","publisher":"ESPN","title":"How to bet Buccaneers-Bears on 'Sunday Night Football'","url":"https://www.espn.com/espn/betting/story/_/id/50408146/nfl-week-9-odds-betting-picks-buccaneers-bears-preview"}],"more_coverage":[{"outlet":"CBS Sports","publisher":"CBS Sports","title":"Buccaneers vs. Bears prediction, odds, time: NFL Week 9 'Sunday Night Football' picks from proven model","url":"https://www.cbssports.com/betting/news/buccaneers-bears-prediction-odds-time-nfl-week-9-sunday-night-football-picks/"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Bears vs. Buccaneers: Game Picks and Predictions","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/bears-vs-buccaneers-game-picks-011643382.html"},{"outlet":"CBS Sports","publisher":"CBS Sports","title":"Bears vs. Buccaneers: Chicago looks to tame Tampa's running game while staying atop the NFC North","url":"https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/bears-vs-buccaneers-odds-prediction-where-to-watch/"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"NFL Week 9 Sunday Night Football Best Bets—Buccaneers At Bears","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/nfl-week-9-sunday-night-034819513.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Who plays on 'Sunday Night Football' tonight?
