Vikings vs Bears MNF best bets
Bears +1.5
Josh Inglis thinks there is some risk to taking the Bears, but they have the potential to against in McCarthy's first NFL ame.
"Yes, there is a chance Caleb Williams falls on his face yet again, but he has the greater pieces for success and the Chicago defense could give McCarthy some issues in his first NFL game which is on the road in a divisional tilt. I don't like the Bears, but they can win this game vs a "rookie" quarterback."
Over 43.5
This total went back and forth, but Inglis believes these teams can put up points.
"It's looking like 68 degrees at game time with an 8mph wind blowing end zone to end zone. Leaning Over more than Under as Caleb and McCarthy have great ceilings."
Vikings vs Bears MNF TD picks
DJ Moore
DJ Moore had just six TDs last season, but Ryan Gilbert thinks the Bears' WR1 will find paydirt in Week 1 following Keenan Allen's departure.
"Despite Keenan 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)."

Cairo Santos Over 6.5 kicking points
Jeremy Jones expects the Bears to move the chains, but Cairo Santos will be called upon often.
"The Bears will move the ball, but it is unlikely they convert all those drives for touchdowns. Two field goals and one extra point will hit this total. Last year, Santos had five games with at least seven kicking points, and two of those five were in the first two weeks."
