10 pts is a lot, but I'll probably look at a first half play here if I can get it at -6 or hopefully lower. Hard to take the Bears seriously here... even tho they do have a few extra days rest.

Here's a tip for when you think Vegas is right and the game will go as they say. If you're betting online and your book has adjusted lines, then bet on both the adjusted lines. You can do it for the spread or the over/under.
For example, for Denver@Houston, I have the spread at DEN -2 and the total at 47. This means the score would be:
DEN 24.5 HOU 22.5
If you think the spread is accurate, then bet on HOU +7.5 and DEN +3.5:
HOU +7½ Risking:$100.00 To Win:$37.77
DEN +3½ Risking:$100.00 To Win:$44.44
If the game stays close and both bets win, you win $82. You aren't really risking $200, though because it is impossible for both of these to lose, but if one of them loses, you lose the bet. Depending on which loses, you lose $62 or $56.
If you think the total is accurate, then bet on the high under and the low over:
TOTAL (DEN/HOU) u57½ Risking:$100.00 To Win:$25.00
TOTAL (DEN/HOU) o37½ Risking:$100.00 To Win:$25.00
So you have a 20-point range of victory that wins you $50. Again, it is impossible for both to lose, but if either loses, you lose $75.
The amount the spread/total is adjusted and the payouts change quite a bit from game to game so these numbers aren't accurate for every game but they are in the ballpark.
I remember at some point last year seeing the headline: Think you know football? Vegas does. To this point in the season, there have been 100 overs, 99 unders, and 9 pushes.
So if they can be that accurate, try betting with them sometimes. Good luck.

Both DTs for the Bears, Walker and Harris are questionable and may not play, and Vasher wont be playing. After the Vikes ran for over 300 at Chi last time, and now its home with a hurting Bears D again, I see the Vikes running all over em again. Travaris Jackson is playing well now for the Vikes, not the case back in the week 5 matchup. With Orton starting I can see the Vikes covering here. 10 points sounds like a lot, but its really not.
Also for the total, Vikes should put up at least 27 alone, maybe 30. And the Vikes D tends to go home early with a big lead, so the Bears will probably get a junk time TD, so be careful with the under.

with the way the Vikings have been playing... I don't see how I can bet against them?? Any thoughts on why the Bears would be a bettor choice? I emptied my acount with my picks this weekend, so I obviously don't know wtf I'm doing...

I'm a huge vikings fan and 10.5 (now up to 12 in some spots) is really a lot to lay - I got it at 8.5 and bought it down to 7 and have it at 2.5 in a 6 team teaser that would cap another great nfl weekend for me. Da Bears have always played the Vikes close but this is also Minny's chance to shine on a Monday night - I'm probably going to tease Minny and the over here to be safe.

Chester Taylor..Celebrates XMAS early tomorrow in Minnesota. Bears are week and a very beat up team in the front defensively. I just can't get over the thought of having visions of Chester Taylor tomorrow night in the end zone!!! The logical play is a first half play.

shakey time of year in the NFL and the dogs are biting this weekend.
i almost agree with the fading the public here, but can't imagine orton manufacturing scoring drives let alone postive yards against this Def. Nor can I see a banged up bears Def. holding these two running backs down.( iknow redundant questions)
Don't know guys, i've been on a slide here, and want to get some back before bowl season.....and can not pass up a monday night game. but lean is on Minny at half, and perhaps the game.

As a Minnesota native and (coerced) Vikes fan, I have to go w/ the purple and gold. The Vikings are 4-1 ATS in the series at HOME and are playing incredibly well. AP and C. Taylor duo have ignited confidence and energy for the fans and, in turn, the team: T. Jackson has been coming in early and staying late watching film for the past several weeks, not coincidently improving the Vikes 5-1 (SU and ATS) in last 6 games (loss was to GB w/ Holcomb at QB.
The Vikes are #1 in Rush D limiting opponents to 70 rush yds pg AND #1 in rush offense w/ an astronomical 172+ yds pg. SF’s corners blitzed like crazy last wk at AP limiting him to only 3 yds on 14 carries, and Chicago has asserted their intentions to employ a similar strategy, but where AP is limited, Childress focuses on Taylor to compensate: 8 carries for 101 yds and an LG of 84 yds for the TD, and flooding the box will open lanes for T. Jackson, who will try to capitalize on Chicago’s 26th ranked pass D, allowing 231+ yds pg. Childress has put both RBs on the field and will continue to do so against horrible Chicago Rush D.
Chicago’s D is old and beat up, in addition to starters Walker and Harris out. They are not the Bears of seasons past. Look for Orton to put up at least 1 TD and more passes to Devin Hester, their only O weapon against a poor Vikes Pass Defense, making the Over 43 promising.

Just a little afternoon info for anyone interested. Lotta folks trying to make a big buck on a lucky shot at the ML. Im thinking of teasing the Vikings to -4.5 and the over to 37. Not touching the ML on this one, too many San Frans, Carolinas, Phillys, and Washingtons hit SU this weekend. But then again, after those games who knows.
Bears average 7.2 pts/1st H (last 3; 6.3), Vikings avg. 13.8 pts/1st H (last 3; avging 28.7)
Vikings 1 H -6

Teasing it to be safe, anything can happen on monday night. If not, I will just take Minny -10.5 and not touch the O/U.

Again......another huge dog and the public is all over the hot team laying the points. 2 weeks ago there were 10 games with chaulk of 7 or more points. The favs went 8-2. Now, like I said all over the threads yesterday......that wouldn't happen again.......look to find some teams and take the points. There were 8 games yesterday with chaulk that was thicker than 7 points and the dogs went 5-3. I believe that you could see this coming, and I believe that you can see what is coming tonight!!!! Minnesota is hot, that I will give them......but 10 points better than a divisional team that has had 10 days to prepare for this game........I don't think so.......I'll take the points again.......and I believe the the record for the week will finish out at 6-3 for the thick, chaulky dogs!!! I love the Bears here......but I think Minnesota finds a way to win the game in the end. Bears and the over.....GL all!!

Having lived in Minneapolis the last seven years, I don't recall EVER when the Vikings covered ATS when a favourite of over 6 points. They might've won some in between, as dogs (such as vs San Diego). What the public isn't considering is Lovie Smith is one for pulling out all the stops (certainly not as vanilla as what you'd seen last night, with Jauron and Gibbs). Devin Hester will be utilized in most every fashion tonight. It goes without saying "the other" Adrian Peterson (on the Bears) isn't a back they'll rely on to establish the run. Kyle Orton has been waiting nearly two years for this chance. He's undefeated in the MetroDome, incidently - even back to his days at Purdue.
Liking the Bears receiving corps here far better than the Vikings sorry lot. That, and both defensive secondaries are torn up. Dwight Smith might be given a "pass", despite last week's arrest.
Chester Taylor, AD Adrian Peterson - that's all Minnesota is bringing tonight, and it'll only work for so long.
Hester, Berrian, Muhammad, and two solid TEs for Chicago I will take, with a less mistake-prone signal caller in Orton.
Bears outright. Call it my weekend trifecta - as San Francisco won Saturday night, Redskins last night, and a fine rigging tonight.
Chicago, and a light tap on the over.
