Key Factors

Favors Over

The Chargers feature a new play-caller this season in offensive coordinator Kellen Moore, and the projections expect their pass/run mix to lean 2.7% more towards rushing than it did last season (adjusted for context).
The Chargers are an enormous 8.5-point favorite this week, likely leading to an extreme rushing game script.
Right now, the 2nd-quickest paced team in the NFL (in a neutral context) according to the projections is the Chargers.
Joshua Kelley's 48.0 adjusted rushing yards per game this season represents a noteable progression in his rushing talent over last season's 26.0 figure.
The Chicago defensive ends rank as the 3rd-worst group of DEs in football this year when it comes to run defense.

Favors Under

At the present time, the 6th-least run-heavy offense in the NFL (35.4% context-neutralized) according to the projection model is the Chargers.
Calm weather conditions (like the 2-mph wind being forecasted in this game) generally prompt better passing effectiveness, higher TD potential, higher pass volume, and reduced ground volume.
While Joshua Kelley has garnered 41.7% of his offense's rushing play calls in games he has played this year, the model projects him to be much less involved in Los Angeles's ground game this week at 25.6%.
The Chargers offensive line ranks as the 7th-worst in the NFL last year at blocking for the run game.
This year, the tough Bears run defense has given up a paltry 85.0 adjusted yards per game on the ground to opposing offenses: the 5th-fewest in football.
