The NY Giants do a very good job shutting down the run and the Bears do a decent job of it as well. The Bears secondary is still having issues and if the Bears struggle establishing the run early, Dowell Loggains has no problem abandoning the run and getting pretty pass-happy.

The Bears can’t be as bad as they were last week, even with the loss of Alshon Jeffery and Kyle Long, they are professionals, they have pride, they’ll be better. With the Giants struggles in the running game, both teams are going to focus on passing the ball to move the chains.

Expect both quarterbacks to rack up some yardage, and both of them should be right at or above 300 yards passing for the game.
