Brian Urlacher is fast and strong and when opposing RBs run left or right he's there to fill the gap, launch himself like a missle and make a big tackle, forced fumble, etc. However, as Seattle showed, if you run right at him he has a tough time shedding blockers and guys like Shaun Alexander can run up the gut 4 or 5 times in a row for a score. Deuce McAllister reminded everyone how good he really is when 100% vs Philly. Look for Deuce to run well with nearly 5 ypc and a TD, with plenty of runs up the middle at Urlacher. Reggie Bush is using his speed and elusiveness to run for 35+ yds. With an emphasis on running, Drew Brees is forecasted for under 200 yds and 1 TD. He is completing over 60% of his passes and the Saints are forecasted to put up over 20 in Chicago. However, the Saints defense struggles to stop the big play (Donte' Stallworth's 75 yd rec, Westbrook's 50 yd rushing TD). While the Bears defense looks vulnerable, it isn't as vulnerable as the Saints' defense. Look for Rex Grossman to to complete some long passes for TDs (avg 1.5 per sim) and the Bears duo of Thomas Jones and Cedric Benson to actually outrush Deuce and Reggie at home.
