Randy’s Pick
The Chicago Bears had their chances to beat the Lions last week but fell apart in the second half. At this stage, with 8 losses, it’s in the Bears best interest to keep losing to get a better draft pick. The Minnesota Vikings have saved their season with wins in 5 of their last 6 games, and they need to take advantage of this home game before heading into the bye week. No excuses really. The Vikings should win this game by at least a touchdown. I’ll lay the chalk with the Vikings.
