Pros
- The Bears are an enormous 10-point underdog in this week’s contest, indicating an extreme passing game script.
- The weather forecast calls for 4-mph wind in this game. Low wind usually means higher pass volume, higher TD potential, and increased passing efficiency.
- The Chicago Bears offensive line has afforded their QB 2.51 seconds before getting pressured (10th-best in the NFL since the start of last season), which has a positive effect on all pass game stats across the board.
- The Green Bay Packers defense has gotten pressure on opposing QBs 2.52 seconds after the snap (on average), ranking as the 8th-worst in the league since the start of last season.
Cons
- The Chicago Bears boast a new play-caller this season in offensive coordinator Luke Getsy, and THE BLITZ projects their pass/run mix to lean 2.1% more towards rushing than it did last season (in a neutral context).
- THE BLITZ projects the Chicago Bears as the 6th-least pass-heavy team on the slate this week with a 54.7% pass rate, based on their underlying tendencies and matchup dynamics.
- THE BLITZ projects the Bears to call the 3rd-least offensive plays among all teams this week with 59.6 plays, given their underlying tendencies and game dynamics.
- THE BLITZ projects Justin Fields to attempt 29.8 passes in this contest, on average: the least of all QBs.
- Justin Fields has been among the worst passers in the NFL since the start of last season, averaging 157.0 yards per game while checking in at the 11th percentile.
