The Chicago Bears face the Las Vegas Raiders at Allegiant Stadium in a matchup of teams seeking to reach a .500 record. The Raiders' passing game, led by Geno Smith, could exploit Chicago's weak defense. Las Vegas's top receiving options are expected to have favorable matchups against the Bears' defense. The game plan is projected to heavily favor passing.
Two 1-2 clubs look to get back to .500 when the Chicago Bears head to Sin City to take on the Las Vegas Raiders at Allegiant Stadium.defense is bad. They rank 9th-worst in total DVOA through three weeks, and have been equally bad against the pass and the run.
To make matters worse, they just lost their top corner inThat should put Chicago in a difficult position. The Raiders’ passing game isn’t exactly in the upper echelon of the game, but it's getting there with top-10 marks in yards per attempt and passing yards per game. This is a team that throws with the fifth-most frequency in the NFL, and it loves to air it out behind Geno Smith. Chicago has allowed its opponents to convert five of eight pass attempts of 20+ yards, good for the league’s fourth-worst completion percentage on deep balls, and that should be all we need to believe in Las Vegas on that side of the field. While the defense hasn’t been stellar by any means, they’re still around the league average against the run and may see that ranking improve within danger of missing this one with a hip injury.

He should be quite active.ineffectiveness getting him around 30% of the snaps in the last two weeks. White has been effective in the passing game, and with so much volume expected out of, I can’t imagine the odds are this long that White is leaned upon a bit more on passing downs. Speaking of Smith, he’s thrown for just four touchdowns all year, but Chicago has allowed nearly four touchdowns per game, the fifth-worst mark in the NFL, and Smith already has an easy matchup against this secondary.With such a slim line, the Raiders can cover the spread in what has been bet down to essentially a pick'em.The total is up a point from the opening number of 46.5, but I would still bet this up to 48.5 given the inefficiency of both defenses.
