The Bears are a massive 7.5-point underdog this week, likely leading to an extreme passing game script.Accounting for their underlying propensities and game dynamics, the Bears are anticipated by the projections to call only 60.8 offensive plays in this game: the 2nd-lowest number among all teams this week.This game will be played in a dome—which means no wind, increased pass volume, increased touchdown potential, and better passing effectiveness.Our trusted projections expect Khalil Herbert to be a much smaller piece of his team's running game in this week's game (26.7% projected Carry Share) than he has been this year (41.2% in games he has played).Opposing squads have run for the 2nd-fewest adjusted yards in football (just 77.0 per game) against the Detroit Lions defense this year.
