Bears vs Vikings
- Location: U.S. Bank Stadium (Minneapolis, Minnesota) | Time: 8:00 PM ET
- Where to Watch: ABC/ESPN+
- Spread: Vikings -7, Moneyline: Vikings -320, Total: 43.5
Bears vs Vikings Best Bet: Bears +7
The Bears started the season 4-2 before their seven-game losing skid began. Although their 4-9 record looks underwhelming, Chicago’s record doesn’t reflect how competitive they’ve been this season. Three of the Bears’ last four games have been decided by a total of seven points. In addition, the previous matchup between the two rivals came down to an overtime thriller where the Vikings survived 30-27. While Chicago may not steal a win on the road, it won’t be a surprise to see the rebuilding team keep this battle close enough to lose by less than seven points.
Bears vs Vikings Best Total Bet: Over 43.5
The Vikings’ offense has been one of the best in the league this season, averaging 26.1 points per game. Meanwhile, the Bears enter this matchup trailing just behind, averaging 19.5 points per contest. In a rivalry matchup that both teams desperately need for their own reasons, this game could turn into an interesting dogfight in the fourth quarter. A final of 27-23 seems realistic for this battle.
Bears Best Player Bet: Caleb Williams 2+ Passing Touchdowns
In their last matchup, Caleb Williams finished the showdown with two passing touchdowns in a game in which the Bears struggled to find an effective rushing attack. With this battle likely following the same game script, expect Chicago to rely on their rookie quarterback to keep them in the game through the air. Not to mention, Williams has passed for two or more touchdowns in the Bears’ last three games.
Vikings Best Player Bet: Justin Jefferson Any Time Touchdown +100
Justin Jefferson has been one of the best wide receivers in the league again this season. However, the wideout went through a stretch where he didn’t find the end zone in six straight games before he exploded for a 132-yard, two-touchdown outing last weekend against the Atlanta Falcons. Jefferson could build off last week’s performance with another solid night on prime time against the Bears.
