(NFL) Bears (CHI) vs. Vikings (MIN),
Total: 43.50 | -105.00 Under
Result: Win
Total: 43.50 | -105.00 Under
Result: Win
This is a 10* NFC NORTH TOM on the UNDER Bears/Vikes.
These teams have been involved in several higher-scoring games of late, including against each other in their first matchup of the season, but I think that the conditions are now right for much more of a defensive battle on Monday night.
Chicago is 4-9 and it enters off six straight losses. The Bears looked feeble in last week's 38-13 loss at San Francisco and I have a hard time seeing them mustering much of an offensive attack this week either.
Minnesota won the first matchup 30-27 in OT, and note that the Bears have seen the total go UNDER the number in six of their last eight in trying to avenge a home loss vs. a divisional opponent.
The Vikes enter 11-2 and on absolute fire right now on both ends of the field.
Minnesota has been alternating OVERS with UNDERS over its last five games, and off last week's 42-21 home win over Atlanta, I expect this pattern to continue.
With the Bears trying to slow the pace of this one down and eat up the clock as fast as possible, everything in my opinion points to this total staying well UNDER the number once it's all said and done.
Good luck, NP
