The Chicago Bears feature a new play-caller this season in head coach Ben Johnson, and our trusted projections expect their pass/run mix to tilt 1.1% more towards passing than it did last season (in a neutral context).A passing game script is implied by the Bears being a -6.5-point underdog in this week's contest.The predictive model expects the Bears as the 6th-most pass-focused team among all teams this week with a 60.8% pass rate, based on their underlying traits and matchup dynamics.The 8th-highest number of plays in the NFL have been called by the Chicago Bears since the start of last season (a whopping 59.0 per game on average).This game will be played in a dome—meaning zero wind, higher pass volume, higher touchdown potential, and better passing efficiency.
