Given their underlying propensities and matchup dynamics, the projections expect the Chicago Bears to run on 48.9% of their downs: the 3rd-greatest frequency on the slate this week.Our trusted projections expect Darrynton Evans to be a much smaller piece of his offense's ground game in this week's contest (2.1% projected Carry Share) than he has been since the start of last season (14.1% in games he has played).The Chicago O-line ranks as the 9th-best in the league last year at blocking for the run game.This year, the imposing Raiders run defense has allowed a puny 4.83 adjusted yards-per-carry to the opposition's rushing attack: the 25th-best rate in football.
