Indy’s 24th ranked pass defense isn’t going to strike fear into many offenses in the NFL. The opposing quarterbacks the Colts have faced this season have a total QB rating of 100.4. Bears quarterback Brian Hoyer has a QB rating of 103.3 since stepping in for the injured Jay Cutler. In addition, Hoyer has also thrown for 697 yards, four touchdowns, and zero interceptions. Unfortunately, Hoyer and the rest of Chicago’s offense will be without wide receiver Kevin White, and could possibly have Eddie Royal (calf) sidelined as well. Even without White and Royal, the Bears will still have Alshon Jeffery, and as long as Chicago’s offensive line continues to improve from last week’s performance, Hoyer should be able to pick apart the Colts’ pass defense.

Advantage: Bears
