Pros
- The Bears are a 3-point underdog in this week’s game, likely leading to a passing game script.

- The New York Giants pass defense has conceded the 7th-highest Completion% in football (67.9%) vs. wideouts since the start of last season (67.9%).
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 skew 6.2% more towards rushing than it did last season (adjusted for context).
- THE BLITZ projects the Chicago Bears as the 2nd-least pass-heavy team among all teams this week with a 46.5% pass rate, based on their underlying tendencies and matchup dynamics.
- THE BLITZ projects the Chicago Bears offense as the 6th-worst paced team in the league (in a neutral context) at the present time, averaging 29.41 seconds per snap.
- The weatherman calls for 12-mph wind in this game. High wind usually means lower pass volume (and higher run volume) and lessened passing effectiveness.
- Darnell Mooney’s receiving reliability have tailed off this year, with his Completion% shrinking from 59.7% to 38.1%.
