They are many angles that bad teams off losses are the ones who benefit the most from bye weeks. The home team is 5-1 straight up in the Vikings games. Physical running back Matt Forte will use the rest to his benefit.

Teddy Bridgewater is off a great game but he has had his share of consistently inconsistent outings and will come up short against a good pass rushing team as he plays on the road.

The Minnesota Vikings are 1-13 in their past 14 trips to Soldier Field, have not won in Chicago since 2007 and are 0-6 vs. Jay Cutler at Soldier Field. Offensively, the Bears will catch a break with Vikings defensive tackle Sharif Floyd most likely out.
