At a -5.5-point disadvantage, the Panthers are underdogs in this week's game, indicating more of an emphasis on throwing than their typical game plan.Given the game dynamics and the underlying play styles of each team, this game is anticipated by the projections to have 130.5 offensive plays run: the 2nd-most on the slate this week.Miles Sanders's 79.7% Adjusted Completion% this year marks a meaningful progression in his receiving prowess over last year's 71.1% rate.Since the start of last season, the porous Chicago Bears pass defense has yielded a monstrous 84.8% Adjusted Completion Rate vs. opposing running backs: the 9th-worst rate in the NFL.
