Key Factors

Favors Over

The Patriots are a massive 8.5-point favorite in this week's contest, likely creating an extreme rushing game script.
The Patriots have been the 8th-most run-centric team in the NFL near the end zone (context-neutralized) this year with a 50.6% red zone run rate.
The New England Patriots O-line grades out as the 3rd-best in football this year at opening holes for runners.
Rhamondre Stevenson has run for 0.50 touchdowns per game on the ground this year (on average), one of the biggest figures in football among RBs (89th percentile).
Opposing offenses have rushed for the most touchdowns in football (1.50 per game) against the Chicago Bears defense this year.

Favors Under

THE BLITZ projects the Patriots to run the least total plays on the slate this week with 62.0 plays, accounting for their underlying tendencies and game dynamics.
The New England Patriots have run the 8th-least plays in the NFL this year, totaling just 55.7 plays per game.
THE BLITZ projects Rhamondre Stevenson to be much less involved in his team's run game near the goal line this week (41.2% projected Red Zone Carry Share) than he has been this year (55.0% in games he has played).
The New England Patriots have faced a stacked the box on 27.7% of their plays since the start of last season, most in the NFL. Keeping an extra defender near the line of scrimmage improves run-stopping at the cost of better passing efficiency.
The New England Patriots have gone no-huddle on a measly 2.6% of their plays outside the two-minute warning since the start of last season (least in the NFL). This slows down the pace, leading to less volume and stat-padding.
