The Chicago Bears host the Minnesota Vikings in an NFC North clash to kick off this season of Monday Night Football.
The Vikings won both meetings last season, scoring 30 points in each contest.
Here are my best free Vikings vs. Bears anytime touchdown picks for Monday, September 8.
Vikings anytime touchdown pick
Aaron Jones (+145 at bet365)
Aaron Jones left the Green Bay Packers for the Minnesota Vikings last offseason, and he immediately received the most carries in his career.
He ran for 1,138 yards on 255 carries, besting his previous career-high of 236, but only managed five touchdowns (and two receiving). However, two of those touchdowns came against the Chicago Bears — one in each meeting.
Jones accounted for over 55% of the Vikings’ rushing attempts last season, a number that jumped up to 62.7% in the red zone.
The Bears allowed a running back to find the end zone in 11 of 17 games last season. That included five contests in which two backs scored a touchdown.
Jones has 13 touchdowns in 15 career games against the Bears. I'll take plus odds for him to score again on Monday Night Football.

Bears anytime touchdown pick
DJ Moore (+175 at bet365)
The Chicago Bears had a disappointing season last year, going 5-12 with rookie Caleb Williams under center. Their touchdowns were split pretty evenly, though.
Keenan Allen led the way with seven, closely followed by the trio of DJ Moore, D'Andre Swift, and Roschon Johnson, who each scored six times.
Despite Allen leading the team in receiving touchdowns, it was Moore who led — by quite some margin — in targets (140), catches (98), and yards (966).
Moore accounted for 26.6% of the target share overall to Allen’s 23%. In the RZ, that percentage increased to 30.9% (21 targets), with Rome Odunze next at 17 (25%).
The veteran wideout scored in the home meeting against the Vikings last season and will look to find paydirt again to open the season.
