Niko’s Take-
Earlier this week I tweeted about how every time the Bucs reportedly have an enourmous advantage over another team, were left wondering what happened after Sunday evening.

Week 1, the Detroit Lions were coming in from Detroit, cool weather, and LIons coaching staff were downplaying the heat impact. The Bucs were the team gassed in the first 3 quarters. The Indianapolis Colts were coming into town without Peyton Manning, so no problem right? The Bucs eeked out a win with their 4 minute offense.
Today, the Bucs are going into their game against the Bears FULLY adapted to their UK time zone. Chicago meanwhile was still on Rush Street Thursday morning, and could be suffering a little JetLag. Last week Everyone and their mother picked the New Orleans Saints to win, except a few of us who saw too many Saints wins in Tampa Bay lately and knew a change was in the air. If the game is decided in the 4th Quarter, you have to like Da Bears to have heavy legs and the Bucs to walk right by them.
