Chicago Bears at Minnesota Vikings Preview & Picks

Chicago are tipped to cover as a betting underdog at Minnesota.

This explosive Bears offense is ridiculously efficient late in games, and that can help them to at least stay within touching distance of a Vikings team that tends to cool off offensively as the game goes on.

  • Chicago Bears are 6-1 in their last 7 games
  • Chicago Bears are 3-1-0 ATS in their last 4 games as a betting underdogs
  • Minnesota Vikings are 1-3-0 ATS in their 4 home games
  • The Under has cashed in 4 of the previous 6 meetings

Head To Head

  • Minnesota Vikings lead the all-time series 69-58-2
  • Minnesota Vikings won 27-24 when the two teams last met on September 8

Chicago Bears Form

Chicago head to Minnesota on their best run of form in years, having won six of their last seven games to reach 6-3.

The Bears made a miserable start to the season as they blew a lead to lose 27-24 at home to Minnesota, and then suffered a 52-21 blowout defeat in Detroit.

They rallied at home to Dallas though, beating the Cowboys 31-14, and then registered back-to-back 25-24 road wins over Las Vegas and Washington, blocking a walk-off field goal against the Raiders before converting one against the Commanders.

Chicago then made it four-in-a-row with a 26-14 victory over New Orleans, only to see their run end with a 30-16 defeat in Baltimore.

The Bears have bounced back though, staging sensational last-gasp fightbacks to win 47-42 in Cincinnati and 24-20 at home to the New York Giants.

Minnesota Vikings Form

Minnesota enter this matchup having now lost three of their previous four games to fall to 4-5.

The Vikings opened the season with a 27-24 victory in Chicago, but they failed to develop any momentum over the next few weeks.

They lost 22-6 to Atlanta in their home opener, and then failed to follow up a 48-10 blowout of Cincinnati as they were beaten 24-21 at Pittsburgh.

Minnesota replied with a 21-17 success in Cleveland, but they were again unable to back up a victory as they lost 28-22 at home to Philadelphia and 37-10 at the Los Angeles Chargers.

The Vikings avoided a third-straight loss, upsetting Detroit in a 27-24 victory on the road, only to be brought back down to Earth by a 27-19 loss at home to Baltimore last weekend.

Verdict

Chicago’s knack for last-gasp comebacks will not last forever, but it is impossible to overlook just how good Caleb Williams and the offense is in the fourth quarter.

Minnesota, on the other hand, tend to cool off late in games, so give us the Bears and the free points in this big NFC North clash.
