Dan Karpuc: Rhamondre Stevenson Over 63.5 Rushing Yards
The Bears have allowed 163.0 rushing yards per game this season, the fourth-worst mark in the league. Not only that, but they've surrendered a ridiculous 194.0 rushing yards per contest on the road, which is where Monday's game against the Patriots will be played. Damien Harris i s back after a one-week absence and will receive his fair share of touches, but Rhamondre Stevenson has emerged as the RB1 in this offense, especially after scoring two touchdowns last week and amassing 161 rushing yards the week before. New England won both of those games (against the Lions in Week 5 and Browns in Week 6) to improve to 3-3 on the year, so I expect Bill Belichick to give Stevenson a hefty workload once again in what should be a game defined by the Patriots controlling the clock. (The Bears won't do anything offensively, so New England is going to have the ball a ton.) If Stevenson sees 15 carries, which is conservative in this matchup, he should easily get over this number based on the recent form of Chicago's run defense, New England's rushing offense and the presumed game script.
