Forced to play their backup QB after starter Justin Fields was injured, the Chicago Bears (3-8, 4-5-2 ATS) lost to the Minnesota Vikings (6-5, 7-3-1 ATS) earlier this season. The rematch of these NFC North rivals will see the Vikings as the team left to count on their second-stringer under center.
Minnesota is 2-1 straight up and 3-0 against the spread since Josh Dobbs replaced the injured Kirk Cousins at QB. Fields returned for the Bears last week and nearly engineered a road upset over the division-leading Detroit Lions.
Still, it’s Minnesota that oddsmakers are going with as the 3-point home favorites in the Bears vs Vikings odds for this game. The Vikings are 6-0 ATS in their last six games.

Key Players Uncertain For Both Teams
If you’re looking at making a play on this game in the Week 12 Bears vs Vikings props, perhaps avoid any bets on Minnesota WR Justin Jefferson or Chicago RB D’Onta Foreman. Both players are uncertain to participate in the MNF tilt.

In the midst of his 21-day practice window to be reactivated from IR, Vikings All-Pro Jefferson is still showing as questionable for this game. He led the NFL with 1809 receiving yards last season. Jefferson was on pace for 1,942 yards in receptions when he suffered his hamstring injury in Week 5.
Foreman (ankle/shin) has been limited in practice this week. He’s leading the Bears in rushing with 381 yards. Foreman’s five TDs are second on the club.
Must Win Game For Vikings
Squandering a victory last week at Denver – losing 21-20 on a late Broncos field goal – Minnesota can’t afford to let this game get away. The Vikings would move within 1.5 games of leading Detroit in the NFC North race and they’ll be facing the Lions twice before the regular season concludes.
Minnesota had won five in a row prior to that setback at Denver. The Vikings were playing their way back into the title hunt. Losing to Green Bay on Thanksgiving, Detroit has opened a path to the top for Minnesota. The Vikings can’t afford to let another game slip away to a lesser squad.
Bears vs Vikings Prediction
With Fields back under center, the Bears are a different team. They’re still not a good team, but at least they can score the football. In the six full games that Fields has played this season, the average total is 44 points. That’s a half-point better than the total set for this game.

Minnesota has also hit the over in three of the club’s past four home games. As well, these two teams combined to score 51 point in last season’s game at US Bank Stadium. And no NFL team has hit the over more often than the Bears, who are 7-4 this season on the total.
