The Bears are a 6.5-point underdog in this week's game, likely leading to a passing game script.The predictive model expects this game to see the 4th-fewest plays run on the slate this week at 128.3 plays, accounting for the tendencies of each team and game dynamics.The pass games of both teams (in terms of both volume and effectiveness) stand to benefit from the still weather conditions (4-mph wind) being projected in this game, while rush volume may drop.While D'Andre Swift has accounted for 49.5% of his team's run game usage in games he has played this year, the predictive model expects him to be a much smaller piece of Chicago's rushing attack in this week's game at 39.2%.D'Andre Swift ranks as one of the bottom RBs in football at picking up extra rushing yardage, averaging a lowly 2.77 yards-after-contact this year while checking in at the 21st percentile.
