Chicago Bears vs. Minnesota Vikings Prediction
This is an essential game for the Vikings, who are currently in the playoffs if the season ended today.
Minnesota got off to a rough start, and it appeared that the season was over, but the last six weeks have turned around their season.
Minnesota was one of the best teams in the NFC a season ago, but a lot of that had to do with winning close games.
A lot of people said Minnesota was a lucky team that would be exposed in the playoffs, and unfortunately for the Vikings, a lot of people were right.
Minnesota lost their first-round game at home to the New York Giants.
Joshua Dobbs leads this Vikings offense after starting quarterback Kirk Cousins was injured a few weeks ago.
Dobbs has continued to exceed expectations and proves that he belongs in the league as a starting quarterback.
Superstar wide receiver Justin Jefferson is not expected to play tonight. Jefferson has missed the last month but the team is optimistic that he will return within the next couple of weeks.
The Jefferson injury has forced other guys to step up, and one of those guys stepping up is rookie Jordan Addison.
Addison was a star in college at Pittsburgh and USC and is showing that he can be a star in the NFL, leading the team with seven touchdowns.
The Minnesota defense has adjusted well over the last six weeks as they rank 13th in scoring defense this year.
Chicago will aim to get their fourth win this year.
The Bears have struggled, and the biggest question mark in the Windy City is what the Bears will do with Justin Fields.
Chicago had an opportunity to draft a quarterback last year with the number one overall pick but traded the puck to Carolina, instilling confidence into Justin Fields.
After watching CJ Stroud this year, the Bears may regret that move, but the positive is that they have the Panthers first-round pick this year, which is number one overall at the moment.
Fields has missed multiple games this year and when he has been on the field, he has played pretty well.
DJ Moore has been the team's top playmaker on offense as he is headed toward another 1,000-yard-plus season.
The Bears' defense ranks 29th in football but has played much better over the last three weeks, allowing opponents 22.7 points per game.
Let’s dive into my prop lock of the night.
Chicago Bears vs. Minnesota Vikings Player Prop Pick
Similar to our prop lock yesterday, this play has the potential to cash in the first half.
The former Notre Dame standout is one of Fields' favorite targets.
Cole Kmet has played in 617 offensive snaps this year. The only player to play in more offensive snaps is DJ Moore (680).
Kmet is second on the team in targets and second in yards.
Minnesota will put a lot of attention toward Moore tonight, which will open up the big tight end.
