The Bears are a huge 7-point underdog in this week's game, likely creating an extreme passing game script.Given their underlying strategic approach and matchup dynamics, the projections expect the Bears to pass on 62.6% of their plays: the 5th-highest rate among all teams this week.The Chicago Bears have called the 8th-most plays in the league this year, averaging a whopping 59.8 plays per game.This game will be played in a dome—meaning no wind, increased pass volume, increased touchdown potential, and better passing effectiveness.The Minnesota Vikings defense has been a glaring pass funnel this year, inducing opposing teams to attempt the 4th-most passes in the league (38.4 per game) this year.
