  • The Minnesota Vikings are 3-point home favorites over the Chicago Bears in the Week 12 MNF game on Monday, November 27
  • Minnesota is 4-1 ATS in the last five games against Chicago, while the Bears are 0-12 SU in their last 12 divisional games

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.

Chicago vs Minnesota Betting Trends

The Bears are 3-12 ATS in their last 15 games facing NFC North opponents and that’s reflected in the NFL public betting splits. Minnesota is getting 60% of spread handle. Chicago is also 0-12 SU in the last 12 divisional games, so not surprisingly, the Vikings are drawing 93% of the handle on the Bears vs Vikings betting splits.

Minnesota is 5-0 SU in the last five meetings with Chicago. The Bears have lost nine of their last 10 road games SU. Minnesota is 5-1 SU over the club’s past six games.

The Vikings have gone under the total in seven of their last nine games. The under has also hit in three of the past five Bears vs Vikings meetings.

Minnesota is the +500 second betting choice to win the NFC North in the NFL Divisional odds. Chicago is given a +25000 betting line in this market.

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.
