The Bears are a 3-point underdog this week, likely creating a passing game script.Accounting for their underlying strategic approach and game dynamics, the Bears are predicted by the predictive model to call only 61.8 offensive plays in this contest: the lowest number among all teams this week.While Khalil Herbert has earned 37.6% of his team's carries in games he has played this year, the model projects him to be a much smaller part of Chicago's ground game this week at 19.9%.When it comes to the defensive ends' role in defending against the run, Detroit's group of DEs has been fantastic this year, ranking as the 4th-best in the league.
