The Chicago Bears go on the road for a NFC North showdown with the Minnesota Vikings. The Bears had high hopes for the season but are just 4-9, on a seven game losing streak and fired their coach during the season for the first time in their long history. The Vikings are 11-2 overall this season and are in second place in the NFC North. Minnesota has won six straight games. Caleb Williams has had a decent rookie season, throwing for 2,746 yards with 16 touchdowns and five interceptions. The Bears are putting up 19.5 points per game and the defense is giving up 21.4 points per game. Chicago is 6-5-2 against the spread this season but just 1-4-1 on the road. Minnesota has been the surprise team this season, posting an 11-2 record this season. As much of a surprise the Vikings have been, Sam Darnold has been an even bigger surprise. He has thrown for 3,299 yards with 28 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. Minnesota is putting up 26.1 points per game and allowing 18.5 points per game. Minnesota is 8-4-1 against the spread overall and 5-2 at home. The Bears didn't have the “new coach” bounce against San Francisco. The Vikings are very good when playing at home. They have the sixth best scoring defense in the NFL. They have the ability to move the ball down the field quickly, both on the ground and through the air. The Bears had thoughts of the playoffs, they are not technically eliminated but are on life support and probably thinking of end of season plans. The Vikings defense will cause the Bears offense all night and the Vikings will come away with a win and cover.
