NFL Week 9 Free Pick: Take Chicago. Michael Vick has always had issues when facing the Tampa 2 defense, dating back to his days with the Falcons when he used to play Monte Kiffin’s Buccaneers twice a year. While he did complete 29 of 44 passes for 333 yards and two touchdowns last year against the Bears, he also turned the ball over on an interception in the red zone and put the ball on the ground four times. As long as Mike Martz doesn’t forget about Matt Forte, Chicago should keep this one close and according to latest NFL trends, the underdog is 7-2 against the spread in the last nine meetings between these two teams.
