Why Bet on Vikings versus Bears
Minnesota has just a single win this season, and it was against the Carolina Panthers, but the Vikings have an excuse. No team has played as tough of an early season schedule as the Vikings.
Tampa Bay, the Los Angeles Chargers, the Philadelphia Eagles, and the Kansas City Chiefs are all playoff contenders. The Eagles and Chiefs are 2 of the top 3 favorites to win the Super Bowl.
Minnesota battles Chicago on Sunday, a team that’s much closer to the Carolina Panthers than they are to the Chiefs, the team the Vikings lost to in NFL Week 5.

Why Bet on Bears versus Vikings
Sometimes, a single game is all it takes for a team to turn around their season. The Chicago Bears may have played in that game.
Chicago was a different team in the 40-25 road win over the Washington Commanders. The offense finally clicked and the defense, although it gave up yards and points, played a nice bend but don’t break strategy.
Going back to the offense, Justin Fields was great. Fields completed just 51.7% of his passes, but he didn’t throw a pick, which means he threw away the ball when there was no way of completing it, and Justin threw 4 touchdown passes and for 282 yards. Fields also rushed for 57 yards in the game.

Chicago Bears vs Minnesota Vikings Final Betting Prediction
Brian Flores is a great coach. Miami’s former HC coaches the Minnesota Vikings defense, but as good of a coach as Flores is, his unit will struggle to contain Justin Fields.
Fields found a go to target in wide receiver D.J. Mooney. The former Panther caught 8 passes for 230 yards and scored 3 TDs.
If Flores puts a spy onto Fields, Mooney will again have a massive day. If Brian decides to double Mooney, Justin should run wild. So any way we cut it, the Bears offense has an edge over the Vikings D.
When Minnesota has the ball, Kirk Cousins will struggle to find open receivers. Justin Jefferson is out and Minnesota’s rushing attack is a disaster. The Bears should be the chalk. The current money line odds makes Chicago an overlay.
