NFC NORTH RIVALRY GAME
(NFL) Vikings (MIN) vs. Bears (CHI),
Point Spread: 3.50 | -115.00 Bears (CHI) (Home)
Result: Win
The Minnesota Vikings are a surprising 8-2 under quarterback Sam Darnold. They will face NFC North rival the Chicago Bears led by Calab Williams. The Bears have lost four in a row with two of those games they should have won. The Vikings are 4-1 on the road this season but this will be their third straight road game. The Vikings are putting up 24 points per game, their defense has been outstanding, allowing 17 points a game. The Bears are 4-2 at home this season. The Bears offense has struggled with any consistency, but they looked better last week with a new OC. They are putting up 19 points per game. Their defense has not been elite this season but they can turn that around at any given time as they have the talent on that side of the ball. The Vikings are 6-4 in their last 10 head-to-head meetings. The Vikings played well in Chicago, winning four straight. The Bears have been playing close games only to lose on the last play in two of the last four losses, a caught Hail Mary and a blocked FG. If those two losses were wins we would be talking differently about the Bears. Darnold has shown some signs of regression and if the Bears defense and do something I like the Bears to hang in this one with a chance once again for the win. With the line above three I have to take the Bears.

Play on Chicago. This is a 3% play.
