Minnesota Vikings Team Report including odds, performence stats, injuries, betting trends & recent transactions. Vikings Odds Analysis The Minnesota Vikings finished 2019 with a 10-6 record and earned themselves a wild card berth. They upset the New Orleans Saints in the Wild Card Round with an overtime win (Kirk Cousins first career playoff win).
The Chicago Bears have hit their lowest point this season following their third straight loss, which dropped them from 5-1 playoff contenders to a 5-4 team that has no business in the postseason.
After dropping a disappointing 24-17 loss to the Tennessee Titans — a game that wasn’t nearly as close as the final score indicated — the Bears will play just their second divisional contest of the season when they host the Minnesota Vikings on Monday Night Football.
While the Bears are 5-4 and the Vikings are 3-5, it’s not a real surprise that Vegas isn’t favoring the Bears, considering just how awful they’ve been on offense over these last few weeks. The Bears have opened as 2.5-point home underdogs against the Vikings, according to BetMGM.
This is the ninth time this season that the Bears have been underdogs. The only game they were favored in was a home game against the New York Giants in Week 2.
The Bears will be facing a Vikings team that’s coming off a 34-20 beatdown of divisional rivals the Detroit Lions. After starting the season 1-5, the Vikings have won two straight games — both against NFC North opponents. Minnesota will be looking to make it three straight against a Chicago team that’s beaten them four straight times.
Can Chicago break their three-game skid and come away with a home win? Or will the Vikings, who have found their footing of late, send the Bears to four straight losses heading into the bye week? We’ll see when the Bears and Vikings kick things off Monday at 7:15 p.m. CT on ESPN.
