Vikings vs Bears Prediction
The Vikings are going to get the benefit of the doubt at home, but we’re getting points with the better team. The Vikings have had issues finishing games and their offense is limited due to the quarterback play. The Bears have issues defensively, but that offense is rolling, and they’ve won 6 of their last 7 games. The Bears have scored 24 or more points in 7 of their 9 games. Home field isn’t enough for me. We’re getting the better team as an underdog. You make money long term taking this approach. Give me the Bears.
