Minnesota enters this matchup with serious momentum. The Vikings’ recent 42-21 demolition of the Falcons showcased their elite passing game, with Sam Darnold delivering 347 yards and five touchdowns. Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison torched the secondary to split all five scores, highlighting why Minnesota ranks 2nd in WR touchdowns with 21 this season. At home, the Vikings are a scoring machine, averaging 27.86 points per game—6th best in the league.

On the flip side, Chicago continues to struggle. A 38-13 loss to San Francisco marked their seventh straight defeat and highlighted their road woes. The Bears rank 31st in points scored as an away team, averaging just 14.33 points per game. While Chicago’s RBs have managed to rank 8th in touchdowns (13), their defence has been consistently exposed, ranking 7th in WR touchdowns allowed.

The contrasting form of these teams leads to three key betting opportunities.

Minnesota’s strong tendency to win close games—62% in little wins overall and 67% at home—suggests another tight victory could be on the cards. Chicago’s struggles to score and their 46% little loss record make this a likely outcome.

Pick: Little Win (2.80)

With Minnesota averaging 27.86 points at home and Chicago’s offensive struggles on the road, a low-scoring affair feels inevitable. Combined with Chicago’s 24 points allowed per game away, there’s little evidence to support a high total.

Pick: Under +44.5 (1.90)

Chicago’s spread of +6.5 provides a tempting option. The Bears have kept games close this season, with 62% decided by 7 points or less. Despite their losses, the defence has done just enough to cover spreads like this.

Pick: Spread 6.5 (1.91)

Top Picks
Justin Jefferson continues to shine as the go-to weapon in Minnesota’s passing game, already tallying 7 touchdowns. Facing Chicago’s defence ranked 7th worst against WRs, he’s primed for another score.
Pick: Justin Jefferson (2.12)

Dark Horse
Keenan Allen is Chicago’s best chance for a spark in the passing game. While his average of 0.45 touchdowns per game is modest, his odds make him a worthwhile shot.
Pick: Keenan Allen (3.5)
