Looking at the numbers both teams are putting on the scoreboard this season, one would easily say that the Colts are runaway favorites. Indy is averaging 27.0 points per game, while the Bears are averaging 15.5 points per game. On the flipside, the Colts are allowing an average of 31.2 points per game, and Chicago is allowing an average of 24.2 points per game. Whether if this game turns out to be a shootout or a defensive battle, it will be a close one regardless. I might be in the minority here, but my gut is saying that the Bears will somehow pull this one out.

Overall Advantage: Bears
