It’s time for everyone’s favorite rivalry, the Packers vs the Bears, who happen to be in terrible shape lately. What are the odds?
Starting with today’s game, Chicago has a really killer schedule the rest of the season. Win or lose today, we are going to see a lot more Bears tears this season.
I’m feeling super confident about the Pack’s odds, even though Sports Illustrated is predicting a loss. We’ll see.
One thing is certain: Josh Jacobs is going to tear ass all over Soldier Field today. Put that in your day planner, because it’s going down. We’re not getting MarShawn Lloyd back because of appendicitis so Jacobs is the man today until Love gets into his groove.
Yardbarker posted an interesting comparison of the Bears’ run defense with S Jaquan Brisker vs without him:
With Brisker on the field, the Bears allowed an average of 95.4 rush yards per game at a clip of 3.4 yards per carry. They allowed -0.034 EPA per rush (21st in the NFL) with a rush success rate of 39.8% (17th in the NFL).
Without Brisker, the Bears defense allowed 124 rush yards per game at a clip of 4.7 yards per attempt. The advanced stats drop to -0.049 EPA per rush (21st in the NFL) and a rush success rate of 36.7% (11th in the NFL).
