Schule's NFL VERY EARLY GRIM REAPER B-L-O-W-O-U-T - *1PM Kickoff*
(NFL) Chicago vs. Minnesota, 12/20/2015 8:00 AM, Score: 17 - 38
Point Spread: 7.00 | -127.00 Chicago (Away)
Result: Loss
This is an 8* play on the Chicago Bears.

The Minnesota Vikings are coming off back to back losses to Seattle and Arizona, but they are a big favorite at home versus the Bears this Sunday. The Bears appear to be a better team than their record suggests, with four of their last five losses coming in games decided by three points or less. They have also won four of their six road games so far, and Jay Cutler has thrown for 1,408 yards with nine TDs and just two INTs in those games.

Cutler has been quite impressive this season, doing an excellent job protecting the football. He's always had a big arm, and he's put up big numbers since coming into the league with Denver. This season he's showed the poise under pressure that you expect from a veteran, and he could have a big day against a banged up Vikings secondary. Last week he threw for 315 yards and a pair of TDs in a 24-21 loss to Washington.

These teams have split the last eight meetings dating back to 2012, and four of the last five meetings have been decided by three points or less. I don't think this is going to be an easy game for a Vikings team that is missing so many key players on defense.

Take CHI.
