2 minutes5 Most Popular Bets and Prop Bets for MNF: Chicago Bears vs Minnesota Vikings
Nothing like a rivalry matchup on Monday Night Football! Unfortunately it just so happens that both of these teams are under .500. The Vikings came off an impressive 36-28 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Thursday Night Football last week while the Bears played themselves a rather good game the week prior.
On Sunday night, the Bears put up a 30 spot on the Packers but unfortunately, their defense melted down in the second half so they dropped their seventh game out of their last eight. Who comes out on top this week? Well, today we’ll be taking a gander at the five most popular bets from this game.

Vikings -6.5 | 66% | 69% |
Minnesota has actually been pretty solid against the spread this year going 7-6. Now they are just 1-2 as road favorites but they’re going up against a Bears team that has had a ton of issues all year long. Chicago is 4-9 against the spread and are 0-4 as a home underdog on the season.
Over 45

Over 45 | 70% | 85% |
Another game, another time where the public loves the over. The Vikings have actually been one of the best teams in the league at hitting overs all year long. They are 8-5 to the over while Chicago is just 5-8. With the struggles both of these teams have on defense they should have no issue getting this one to 45. You can rest easy by the third quarter on this play.
Dalvin Cook first touchdown scorer (+600)
Dalvin Cook has six touchdowns on the year in just 10 games played. With four touchdowns over his last four games, he’s getting in the endzone at an impressive clip recently and he’s coming off of a two-touchdown 200+ yard performance. Chicago has allowed 13 rushing touchdowns on the season this year.
Dalvin Cook anytime touchdown scorer (-110)
The odds for him being an anytime scorer vs a first touchdown scorer are obviously much different. This one is a safer play than the first touchdown scorer so if you like him to score but aren’t as adventurous for the +600 you can find this at pretty decent value at -110.
Justin Fields over 37.5 rushing yards (-110)
One of the rare fun things about this Bears team is Justin Fields. He’s been improving as the year has gone on, as most rookies do, but one of the things that’s remained consistent is his running abilities. He’s cleared 37.5 rush yards in five of his last six starts. The Vikings have allowed the 10th most rushing yards to quarterbacks this year with 269.
