Look for those guys to play like they did most of the gam

LAKE FOREST, Ill. -- Chicago Bears coach John Fox watched the NFC North race tighten during his teams bye week.Whether it means anything in the long run for the last-place Bears (2-6) depends largely on whether they healed enough during their time away, and can overcome several problems both on offense and defense to make a second-half run.Obviously we could use a little help, Fox said Monday at Halas Hall. Yesterday might have been some. I wont know until I kind of see what we do.The first-place Minnesota Vikings (5-3) lost their third straight, an overtime defeat by the Detroit Lions (5-4). Green Bay (4-4) also fell, and the Bears have games left with each division opponent.The Bears are haunted by games lost in the fourth quarter to Indianapolis and Jacksonville, or theyd be in the mix.Well I think again you can spend a lot of time looking in the rear view mirror, Fox said. Even driving your car, if you spend too much time looking back then you wreck.So our focus is in front of us now.The Bears are at Tampa Sunday and anticipate a handful of injured starters returning to the lineup. They wont know more on the injury front until Wednesday, but the possibility exists guards Josh Sitton (ankle) and Kyle Long (tricep), nose tackle Eddie Goldman (ankle) and cornerback Bryce Callahan will be able to start.I think its a huge boost, Fox said. As I mentioned before, if you look at whats happened to us in the first half, just at the quarterback position, its enough to cripple a lot of teams.Quarterback Jay Cutler returned after missing five starts to lead a victory over the Minnesota Vikings Oct. 31.They could also get back wide receiver Marquess Wilson. He has been on the physically unable to perform list since training camp with a foot injury. On Monday, his evaluation period for a return began.Obviously getting two Pro Bowl guards back is helpful, Fox said, referring to Sitton and Long. I think the receiver position gets a little deeper, as well as the punt returning. In the secondary, I think Bryce Callahans been kinda hit or miss through the first half, or part of the first half. That makes us healthier in a lot of spots.Long took note of all the players at practice who formerly had been populating the trainers room.A lot of people certainly took advantage of the break, Long said. They did what they needed to do to get their bodies right.It would be the first time for Goldman since Week 2, when he suffered a high ankle sprain against the Philadelphia Eagles.I know we havent won a lot, but the wins we did have, I sat out on, Goldman said. Thats the toughest part, is watching your team play and rally and youre just sitting on the sidelines watching.Fox pointed to other problems beyond injuries that need to be fixed.The offense struggled in the red zone and ranks 22nd at scoring touchdowns from inside the 20-yard line. The defense struggled on third downs early, but has since improved to eighth (36.7 percent).We are what we are and right now, Fox said. We could (finish) 10-6 or 2-14. Thats the reality math-wise. I hope were moving more toward the first one I mentioned.Weve got our whole half of a season left. Its like the second half of a game. A lot can happen. Nike Air Max Sconti .

Each week during the NFL regular season, hell give his favorite picks against the spread here with a little further analysis.Season record:?44-20 ATS (last week: 4-1)?Denver Broncos at Tennessee TitansThe Broncos have a Super-Bowl quality defense, and it came to play last week against Jacksonville. Trevor Siemian might play in this one, but Im not sure it makes a difference. This is the biggest game Tennessee has had in a while. The Titans are on their way to being a good team, but with this game a toss-up line, Im taking the battle-tested defense to deliver again.Score: Denver 20, Tennessee 17Houston Texans at Indianapolis ColtsIndianapolis looked great in a 41-10 blowout of a bad Jets team on Monday Night Football. Houston has lost three in a row, but is still tied for first at 6-6 in the AFC South. The Texans defense has played well this season. Look for those guys to play like they did most of the game against the Raiders in Mexico a couple of weeks ago and keep Andrew Luck in check somewhat. Houston pulls out a close one with a couple of big plays on offense and stays in first place.Score: Houston 22, Indianapolis 20Arizona Cardinals at Miami DolphinsWe still have a quarter of the season left, which means its too early to throw in the towel for some teams we thought would be good before the season. Arizona is one of them, annd I think the Cardinals will show up for this game.dddddddddddd Even if they arent in the race, theyre playing like they are. The Dolphins arent as bad as they looked last week in Baltimore, but Arizona is a better team. I dont see the Cardinals disappearing quite yet.Score: Arizona 26, Miami 23Pittsburgh Steelers at Buffalo BillsDo we get the Bills team that showed up for the first 2? quarters in Oakland? Or the one that blew a 24-9 lead in the last 1? quarters? Im banking on the good Buffalo team to show up. Pittsburghs defense was very impressive in its win over the New York Giants on Sunday, but in a hotly contested game I like the home team to eke it out here.Score: Buffalo 24, Pittsburgh 23New Orleans Saints at Tampa Bay BuccaneersThis is a game the Bucs are supposed to win if they are going to make the playoffs, which is a position this young team hasnt been in recently. Remember, they were an underdog at home to the Chicago Bears just a month ago. I understand that Drew Brees has been his usual self this season and could break his own record for completion percentage, but I like Tampa here and Im getting under a field goal with the team with a better record. The Jolly Roger will be firing at the new Sombrero as Tampa Bay continues its playoff push.Score: Tampa Bay 27, New Orleans 23 ' ' '
