The Minnesota Vikings opened up as a 7.5-point favorite against the NFC North division rival Chicago Bears per Tipico Sportsbook.
This shouldn’t come as a surprise considering the Vikings are 3-1 on the season and have a lot more talent on the roster.
So far this season, the Vikings are 1-3 against the spread but lost their last two games by 0.5 points each week. That isn’t something that you see too often but it is impressive.
On the other hand, the over has hit in the Vikings’ last two contests with last week’s game hitting the over by 6.5 points.
The Bears enter this game with a surprising 2-2 record and also have a record against the spread of 2-2 with their ATS record matching their overall record.
This past week, Justin Fields had the lowest passing yardage prop ever recorded for a starting NFL quarterback at 145.5. He did hit the over but the Bears have been historically poor at passing the football. They will also likely be missing starting guard Cody Whitehair due to an ankle injury.
The Bears and Vikings kick off on Sunday at noon central.
