Having watched the last 3 games between the 2 teams, with the Bucs winning 2 and coming within an improbable Ricky Proehl catch of winning the other, I can say that the Bucs have a great deal of confidance when they play the Rams. Unfortunatley for Tampa, they can't beat the defense-oriented teams, with style similar to their own.
I honestly think the Bears defense matches up the best against the Rams O. I don't think you'll find a faster team at the linebacker position than the Bears. Urlacher is probably the fastest linebacker in the game, if not than definately one of the top 3. Rosie Colvin has 10 sacks this year and he's fast. Warrick Holdman is fast as hell too and was battling for leading the team in tackles with Urlacher all season. These 3 combined have to be the fastest linebacking core in the whole league. Then you have Keith "Tractor" Trailor and Ted "Mount" Washington filling up the inside lanes and freeing up the speedy linebackers. These 2 are almost always doubleteamed. Their DB's have picked up the pace this year and have developed into a solid group. The defensive ends would be playing containment against the run (faulk) to the outside. Chicago usually only blitzes 3 guys on the pass rush and it's been working all year. Their special teams are probably the best in the game and their punter, Brad Maynard, is one of the best in the league this year. I wouldn't be surprised if the Pack ended up beating St. Louis anyway. I'm hoping for it actually.

Let's go RAVENS
The Bears/Eagles should be an intersting matchup. For some reason I see the Bears having a hard time scoring against the Eagles defense. But I think if the Bears use Urlacher as a spy against Donovan McNAbb, it will elimante the big plays that the Eagles survive on and really make them hard-pressed to move the ball. In a close, low-scoring game, I think the Bears win due to homefiled advantage. Their playoff run will end the next week, against either the Rams or Packers. They won't be able to score enough points to stay with either of them.
Actually Colvin will be the spy this week. You know Urlacher will be keeping his eye on him too. The defensive ends won't be pass rushing that much and will focus on containing McNabb too. The magic number for the Bears offense is 13 points. When they score 13 or more they are undefeated this year. Nobody from either team has been jawjacking this week. They're both showing up with respect for the other side. Chicago will try to run the ball down their throats. Chicago's D is 2nd against the run, trailing right behind Pitt. Philly is 18th in the league against the run.
I hope the Packers win too and we get to see the third matchup between them this year. It'd be great if Chicago got revenge in the oldest rivavlry in football, better yet for the NFC Championship too.
It's really a battle between the 2 best D's in the league. The only real stat that matters is points allowed and the Bears are #1 with 12.7 per game and Philly with 13. Followed by Pitt with 13.2 and GB and Baltimore tied at 16.6, then you have St. Louis and New England at 17.1 and 17. The only team without a top defense at this point is Oakland (20.4).
