The Bears are on the verge of elimination after losing consecutive games based in large part on late missed field goals. This is resilient and well coached team, however, that have played competitively all season, excluding their first three games. Just throwing out those first three games where the Bears were just getting started with new coaches and systems, they have played every game except for one within six points and that game they won 37-13 against the Rams. The game that they lost by six was in overtime to the 49ers so just looking at non-overtime games their losses have been by 3,3,2 and 3 points. I expect a bounce-back performance by the Bears in what should be a close game.
Meanwhile, the Vikings just don’t score a lot of points (they average 20 points per game). The last time these teams played earlier this season it was also a close game as Chicago held a 20-10 lead late in the 4th quarter before the Vikings came back to win it 23-20.
The Bears have been good on the road this season as well and excluding those first three games the Bears are 4-1 SU and 5-0 ATS, including wins in Kansas City and Green Bay. Minnesota has been banged up on defense and two of their best players (Anthony Barr and Harrison Smith) are out while defensive tackle Linval Joseph and defensive end Everson Griffen are questionable.
The math loves Chicago (-7.8 points) and that triggers a math play but the Vikings have a significant rushing advantage and have a match-up featuring Adrian Peterson against a rush defense that allows 126 rushing yards at 4.8 ypr. This one’s a tough call but I’m going to predict a close game that the Bears cover.
