Bears vs. Vikings Odds
Game Preview
Chicago is on fire. We have to say that. They are currently third in total yards per game, with 379.8, and have the second-best rushing attack, generating 147.3 yards on the ground. We saw that in a 24-20 win against the Giants last weekend, when they posted 171 running yards and two touchdowns.
Caleb Williams plays brilliant football. He had 220 passing yards with one TD pass and 63 rushing yards, with one score too. The Bears’ defense posted 4 sacks and 7 QB hits, looking fantastic as well.
The Vikings lost to the Ravens at home, 27-19. This was their third loss in the past 4 matches, and the one that put them below the .500 line again. And the reason for all this was JJ McCarthy, who had two intercepted passes thrown. McCarthy ended with 248 passing yards and one TD.
He did have 48 rushing yards, out of Minnesota’s 120, but that didn’t help. We must note that the defense had a slow performance, with only one sack, and no forced turnovers.
Bears vs. Vikings Head to Head
The NFC North rivalry saw 129 matchups, with the Vikes leading 69-58, and there were two ties as well. This season, the Vikes won 27-24 in early September. Also, they’ve posted 8 wins in the last 9 events.
Bears vs. Vikings Predictions
With the way the Bears play, they should get out of Minneapolis with a W in their bag. Minnesota commits too many errors, while the Bears play calm and very efficient football.
