This week's spread implies a rushing game script for the Bears, who are favored by 4.5 points.Based on their underlying traits and matchup dynamics, the predictive model expects the Chicago Bears to pass on 51.6% of their chances: the 3rd-lowest frequency on the slate this week.Our trusted projections expect the Bears to be the 6th-most run-focused team in the league near the goal line (in a neutral context) at the present time with a 47.4% red zone run rate.Windy weather conditions (like the 20-mph being predicted in this game) typically cause decreased passing efficiency, lower air volume, and increased ground volume.While Olamide Zaccheaus has received 23.5% of his team's red zone targets in games he has played this year, the predictive model expects him to be a much smaller piece of Chicago's pass game near the end zone in this week's game at 18.2%.
