Prediction
These two teams are going in opposite directions. The Vikings are steamrolling towards the playoffs by winning six in a row, while the Bears have lost seven straight and are looking towards 2025. The Bears have also been doing a lot of traveling, playing at Detroit on Thanksgiving, over to San Francisco last week and now their third road game in a row Monday. Chicago is 0-6 away from home and 1-4-1 ATS. Minnesota has too many weapons on offense for the Bears to keep up.
Pick: Vikings -6.5
