Prediction
Vikings 27, Bears 20
Money line (?)
Given Minnesota’s problems winning at Soldier Field, this one seems like a lot to ask for the Vikings (-183). The Bears (+155) are a solid play at home as a dog. Personally, I don’t like money line bets when I’m projecting the favorite. That said, I would AVOID this bet, but wouldn’t blame anyone for taking the Bears because of the bizarre history.
Against the spread (?)
MINNESOTA is a 3.5-point favorite (-110 Vikings, -110 Bears), but the way the bet is weighed seems to give the impression that the Bears should cover the spread. You have a Minnesota team that has been dominant with Cook and the Bears will have to contend with an offense with more weapons than they have. I’m not overly confident, but take MINNESOTA -3.5 (-110).
Over/Under (?)
The feeling is that the Bears defense will keep the Vikings in check and the Bears inept offense will keep the score low. Cook is having an MVP season and Chicago’s commitment to stopping him will open up Minnesota’s downfield pass game. Combine that with Minnesota’s dismal cornerback crew and there will be enough big plays made to surpass the number. Take the OVER 43.5 (-110).
