Vikings at Bears: Prop bets to make for Monday Night Football
Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated at 11 a.m. ET.
Bears QB Nick Foles UNDER 1.5 passing touchdowns (+105)
This game features a low point total of just 43.5 with the Bears having an implied team total of 20.0. That’s a number they’ve topped in only two of their last six games. Foles has thrown two touchdowns in back-to-back games for the first time all season, but a low-scoring divisional game should see him held to a single passing score.
Bears’ 1st touchdown scorer: Foles (+2800)
The Bears’ backfield is a mess. RB Tarik Cohen is already on the Reserve/Injured list and RB David Montgomery (concussion) was ruled out of this game Saturday. Bears head coach Matt Nagy is more likely to trust Foles with the ball near the goal line than he is to trust RB Ryan Nall, who has just two career carries.
Foles already has one rushing score this season and is a good long-shot bet if he can get his team down to the goal line. This prop is another reason for taking the Under on Foles’ passing touchdowns.

Vikings RB Dalvin Cook OVER 86.5 rushing yards (-115)
Cook has been held below 130 rushing yards just once in his last five games and has added a total of 109 receiving yards over his last two outings. This line is tamped down after the Bears held Tennessee Titans RB Derrick Henry to just 68 total yards last week, but Cook is more essential to his team’s offense right now. He’ll be force-fed the ball as the Vikings try to control the clock in what’s expected to be a low-scoring game.
Cook’s longest reception OVER 10.5 yards (-118)
The Bears defend opposing running backs well in the passing game, allowing just 33.2 receiving yards per game to RBs. Cook’s better than most, however, and can be used to run deeper routes on the outside. With WRs Adam Thielen and Justin Jefferson taking the top off the defense, look for Cook to get past the linebackers with a modest catch-and-run of 11 or more yards.
Vikings WR Justin Jefferson OVER 57.5 receiving yards (-106)
Jefferson comes into Week 10 having been held below 100 receiving yards in back-to-back games. As mentioned above, the Bears held Henry to 68 rushing yards last week but allowed Titans WR A.J. Brown to go for 101 yards and a touchdown, including a 40-yard reception. With the defense heavily focused on Cook, Jefferson should have success with a couple of deep catches.
