The Bills are a heavy 8.5-point favorite in this game, likely creating an extreme rushing game script.The weather forecast calls for 23-mph wind in this game. High wind generally means reduced pass volume (and higher run volume) and lessened passing effectiveness.The Chicago Bears defensive tackles grade out as the 2nd-worst DT corps in the NFL this year in regard to defending the run.The Buffalo Bills have faced a stacked the box on a mere 13.2% of their plays since the start of last season, 7th-least in the NFL. Keeping an extra defender near the line of scrimmage improves run-stopping at the expense of better passing efficiency.
