Game Preview
The Bears welcomed back quarterback Justin Fields in week 11, but his presence wasn’t enough to deliver a win. DJ Moore was the standout performer for Chicago in their 26-31 defeat at the hands of the Lions. The 26-year-old wide receiver posted 96 yards and one touchdown on 7 receptions and his link up with Fields will be key to any success Chicago achieve this season.

The Vikings lost 20-21 to the Broncos in week 11 but there is positive news ahead of week 12. Star wide receiver Justin Jefferson returned to practice this week, logging three limited sessions, and it is hoped he will be able to suit up on Monday. QB Joshua Dobbs has been excellent so far this season, for whichever team he has featured, and he looks to be a safe pair of hands to carry the Vikings into the post-season.
Prediction
With Fields at the helm the Bears have the ability to beat anyone, but consistency is their main issue. The Vikings are solid on both sides of the football and I expect them to come away with the win here.
