Pros
- The Bears are a 3-point favorite in this game, likely leading to a rushing game script.
- Accounting for their underlying traits and matchup dynamics, the model projects the Chicago Bears to run on 52.7% of their opportunities: the greatest rate among all teams this week.
- In this contest, D’Onta Foreman is projected by the projection model to place in the 94th percentile when it comes to RBs with 17.9 rush attempts.
- D’Onta Foreman has grinded out 56.0 adjusted yards per game on the ground this year, one of the largest marks in the NFL among running backs (84th percentile).
- This year, the poor Panthers run defense has surrendered a colossal 147.0 adjusted yards per game on the ground to the opposing side: the 2nd-most in the league.
Cons
- The leading projections forecast this game to see the 3rd-lowest volume of plays run on the slate this week at 125.5 plays, given the tendencies of each team and game dynamics.
