Been on here 10 years... YOU guys never learn. Bears +4

I think public week almost all favorite covers yesterday, stay away 

Do you know how many of those games they were dogs?

How many of those were they dogs?

No one's actually given any good reasoning as to why the Vikings should cover. All I hear is DEFENSE. Defense didn't win Seattle the game against NO. At least Seattle can put points up. Don't get me wrong I think Minnesota is a great team but offensively they still have a lot to prove so with Cutlers history vs this opponent I think there is great value on Chicago and this could really boil down to a field goal. We have Cutler averaging two touchdowns almost every game and that doesn't account for what other players have done or can do. Along with that they're home and Minnesota will have a backup strong safety playing against an experienced quarterback who's best attribute is probably throwing the deep ball.

TheChad clearly you will be wasting your time with majority of the people who comment here.  My advice, don't waste your time on amatuers and talk to the real people who have concerning questions.  Most people don't realize spreads are made to get 50/50 action on both sides, not what the actual spread should be.  Clearly reverse line movement here, VERY CLEARLY, public ~70ish% is on Minny, line opened 5.5 now down to 4.  Vegas is begging you to take minny just like against the eagles, although this line movement is a bit more clear.  I am not saying the bears are a sure winner tonight, but I agree its the Bears or nothing.

Line is back to -6 most places. I agree the reverse line movement is scary for those backing Minny but then why not keep the line low and keep taking in those sucker bets? Is the implication that the books are moving the line back just to reduce some of their exposure in case Chi doesnt cover...

Could care less about line movements, who the "public" is on etc. I see two teams, one team in disarray with bad coaching, an QB who sucks. I guess you could say that about both of them versus a team playing with confidence. Like Minny and under

Pick the winning team and they cover the spread 75 % of the time. Vikings are the pick!!!!

you people are dumb as sin. Vikings cover easy.

think your logic is wrong broski.

 a lot of overthinking....Bradford not very good....with a good D...Bears have cutler who is just returning back...I say just stay away anything can happen...total disaster just my opinion"

“COME ON MAN.” Chicago is on a 2-9 ATS slide overall and is 2-11 ATS at home, while under Zimmer the Vikings are 29-10. Why not just get a bunch of one dollar bills and give them out to the kids for Halloween instead of giving it to the Bookie.

Minnesota looked shaky in its 21-10 road loss at Philadelphia last week. Chicago comes in off a 26-10 loss to Green Bay last Thursday. Note that the Bears do play with “double revenge” today after dropping both to the Vikes last year.

- Vikes’ QB Sam Bradford was 24 of 41 for 225 yards, one TD and one INT last week. His offensive line was exposed as he was sacked a total of six times. The run game leaves something to be desired, so far averaging just 74 YPG. Overall the offense is ranked 18th, posting 21.5 PPG. The strength of the team is on the defensive side of the ball as the unit is ranked No. 1 in the league in giving up just 14 PPG.

- Chicago welcomes back starting QB Jay Cutler this week, who has only played in two game so far this season. He’s going to be playing with a chip on his shoulder today as he looks to jump start his last place offense, which averages just 15.9 PPG. The Bears also rank in the lower half on the defensive side of the ball, allowing 24.1 PPG.

- On paper this looks like a pretty big mismatch, but “situationally,” this one sets up great for the underdog Bears. While he wasn’t at his best in the two games he did play in, getting Cutler back under center healthy at this point of the season is a big bonus for Chicago. The Vikes have another important divsion rivalry at home against the Lions next week, setting up the potential “look ahead” scenario as well for the visitors.

- Going back, Chicago is 15-5 ATS in its last 20 home games after gaining 200 or less total yards in their previous game while going 17-6 ATS in its last 23 home games after three or more consecutive losses against the spread. The Vikings meanwhile are 8-22 ATS in their last 30 road games against teams averaging 17 or fewer ppg.

- The Minnesota Vikings have never been a good road favorite. How about a 3-9 SU and ATS mark since 2009. Digging deeper, they are a dreaded 0-5 SU and ATS when laying more than 3 points. Against the Bears, the Vikings are 1-2 SU and ATS as a road favorite the L3 with that one win being only by 3 points. Take the bears,like the man said.

I believe the safest bet is the under tonight Minny is missing both starting O takles and the Bears defense is getting healthy finally The Bears game plan will be dink and dunk short passes eating clock and maybe getting 13 Points and with Minny having a lot of Offense probs of their own 20 seems tops giving us 33 or so JMHO

You have it all figured out huh? If only it was this easy for every game.

hahha no! He had a bad thumb tho and is coming back early. Sports radio here in Chicago are saying he's not ready
