Buccaneers vs Bears Anytime TD Scorers: Best Picks and Predictions

Buccaneers vs Bears Touchdown Scorer: Roschon Johnson (+280)

Odds available at BetMGM Sportsbook at time of publishing.

We're going to have to get creative for Sunday Night, as the Bears' offensive core, D'Andre Swift, Luther Burden III, Colston Loveland, and Rome Odunze, are all priced at shorter than 2/1 odds to score a touchdown. Not only is that no fun, but it's not prices I want to back. Backup running back Roschon Johnson should be able to give the Bears some extra juice in the backfield, as Swift is coming off a season-high 27 carries on a short week. With Kyle Monangai missing another practice, it's hard to envision him suiting up for Sunday Night, giving Johnson the green light to have his biggest role of the season.

Buccaneers vs Bears Touchdown Scorer: Emeka Egbuka (+220)

Odds available at BetMGM Sportsbook at time of publishing.

Baker Mayfield is likely to get his top target back on Sunday Night, with Emeka Egbuka logging full practices ahead of this matchup versus the Super Bowl-hopeful Bears. His 26.2% target share leads the Buccaneers and will likely be on full display, as the Bucs are nearly touchdown underdogs, putting the Buccaneers in a pass-heavy game script. After watching the Bears defensive line eat up the Seahawks, it's hard to imagine the Bucs having success on the ground, especially in the redzone, where I expect Mayfield to look Egbuka's way.
