Chicago Bears at Minnesota Vikings Preview & Picks

Minnesota are tipped to cover as they win this Monday night matchup.

The Vikings offense is rolling and should have plenty of success against a Bears defense that continues to regress and seemingly quit in the blowout loss to San Francisco.

  • Minnesota Vikings are on a 6-game win streak
  • Minnesota Vikings are 5-2-0 ATS at home this season
  • Chicago Bears are 1-4-1 ATS on the road in 2024
  • The Over cashed when the two teams last met on November 24

Head To Head

  • Minnesota Vikings lead the all-time series 67-58-2
  • Minnesota Vikings won 30-27 in overtime when the two teams last met on November 24

Chicago Bears Form

Chicago go into this Monday night matchup having now lost seven straight games to fall to 4-9.

The Bears opened the season with a come-from-behind win over Houston, only to lose their next two games on the road.

They rebounded with a 24-18 win over the Los Angeles Rams, and then blew out Carolina 36-10 at home before travelling to London for a 35-16 victory over Jacksonville.

The wheels have fallen off since then though, with Chicago’s 18-15 defeat in Washington sparking a collapse that cost Matt Eberflus his job.

The Bears were then embarrassed by Arizona and New England, and after three heart-breaking divisional losses they were then dominated in a 38-13 loss to San Francisco.

Minnesota Vikings Form

Minnesota enter this game on a great run of form, having won six consecutive games to take their record to 11-2.

The Vikings opened the season with five straight wins, before seeing their momentum stall with a 31-29 loss to Detroit and a 30-20 defeat at the Los Angeles Rams.

They rebounded with a 21-13 win over Indianapolis though, and that proved to be the start of this six-game tear they are currently on.

Minnesota went out on the road for three straight games and beat Jacksonville 12-7 and Tennessee 23-13, before fending off Chicago in a 30-27 overtime win.

The Vikings returned home for their next two games, and extended their streak with a 23-22 win over Arizona and a 42-21 victory against Atlanta.

Verdict

It was a case of different coach, same old Chicago Bears last weekend.

The Bears appeared to wave the white flag in San Francisco, and that spells trouble against an in-form Minnesota team who are looking to stay firmly on course for the playoffs.
