Bill Speros writes: "It will be loud inside US Bank Stadium, unless the Bears win. And since betting is still illegal in Minnesota, it will stay loud if the Vikings win but don't cover. We like the Bears against the spread."

Draft Kings: Go with the Vikings to cover vs. Bears
It writes: "Minnesota is ranked in the top-10 in passing attempts per game (39.7), so the Vikings know to attack Chicago’s Achilles heel. Oppositely, the Bears average 15.0 pass attempts per game, and if the Bears hope to win or make this game close they will need to place their faith in Justin Fields to look downfield. With little belief in that coming to fruition, the Vikings should confidently outscore the Bears given their heavy advantage in talent on the offensive side of the ball."

Fan Duel: Vikings 24, Bears 17
Larry Rupp writes: "The Vikings have won three of their last four games against the Bears, holding them to an average of 18.0 points per game during that span. That defense is going to be the key to the game once again as Chicago is only allowing 19.3 points per game (No. 11 in NFL). Points are going to be hard to come by. The Vikings have one huge advantage in this game and that their arsenal of offensive weapons. Jefferson, Adam Thielen, Dalvin Cook and K.J. Osborn outshine Darnell Mooney, Khalil Herbet, Cole Kmet and Dante Pettis of the Bears. The talent gap there will be too much for Chicago to overcome."
