Why Bet on the Chicago Bears?

Chicago gave up 31 points to the Detroit Lions in their NFL Week 11 game, but the Lions had to rally. The Bears played great ball up until the fourth quarter.

Detroit ended up beating Chicago 31-26. Still, Chicago’s D controlled the Lions offense for much of the game. Before almost keeping Jared Goff and Detroit in check, the Bears defense had dominated Bryce Young and the Carolina Panthers in a 19-13 Chicago win.

The Bears D also held the Saints to 24 points in a close Chicago 24-17 loss. Chicago’s D has started to play much better than it did earlier in the season.

The Bears offense is a very different team when Justin Fields is under center. Fields is one of the top dual-threat quarterbacks in pro football.

Justin has been hurt for most of the season. So his overalls stats don’t impress. Against Detroit, Fields was fantastic, throwing for 169 yards and a touchdown and rushing for 102 yards and a score. Justin almost led Chicago to a road upset victory over the Lions.

Why Bet on the Minnesota Vikings?

Former Miami Dolphins head coach Brian Flores has turned one of the league’s worst defensive units into one of the NFL’s best.

During the Vikings’ 5 game winning streak, Minnesota didn’t allow a single opponent to score 30 or more points. The Falcons came closest in a 31-28 Vikings win on the road.

Even in the loss to Denver last Sunday night, the Vikings’ D stood tall, allowing 21 points in a 21-20 Minnesota loss.

After Kirk Cousins went down to an injury, Vikings head coach Kevin O’Connell pulled the trigger on Joshua Dobbs. The Arizona Cardinals were about to take Kyle Murray off IR.

So the Cards were more than happy to ship Dobbs to Minnesota. Dobbs immediately started and led the Vikings to 3 straight wins. Dobbs had a chance to rally Minnesota against the Broncos but came up short on the Vikings’ final drive. Joshua has proven this season that he’s a legit pro football starter.

Bears vs. Vikings Expert Betting Predictions

The Bears looked great against the Detroit Lions, but this betting spread makes Chicago an underlay. Brian Flores is a defensive mastermind.

He will create a strategy to contain Justin Fields. On the opposite side, Joshua Dobbs should find openings in Chicago’s defense. Dobbs will get the ball to T.J. Hockenson and the Vikings’ receivers.

Also, like Fields, Dobbs is an accomplished rusher. The Vikings get it done with an impressive win and cover.
