The guaranteed NFL Power System Side is on Chicago at 8:20 eastern. The Bears are off a loss here on Sunday to The Colts and are now 3-1. They should rebound nicely as home teams generally do better with the less perp time on Thursdays. The bears have covered 11 of 15 as a home dog and fit a nice home dog system. They have one of the best home red zone defenses and that will help them here against a Bucs team that could really bounce off a huge come back win from 17 down. The Bus are 0-4 ats vs winning teams and have failed to cover 5 of 6 on Thursdays. With the host team covering 4 of 5 in the series we will back the Bears tonight.
