Why the Bears can cover
Chicago is in desperation mode heading into this game, as the Bears cannot afford to lose again if they want to keep their realistic playoff hopes alive. They came up short against Green Bay last week, but covered the spread as 6-point underdogs in a 20-19 setback. Rookie quarterback Caleb Williams completed 23 of 31 passes for 231 yards, while running back D’Andre Swift had 71 rushing yards and a touchdown. Swift (groin) is questionable this week.
The Bears held a 19-14 lead heading into the fourth quarter before giving up a Packers touchdown with 2:59 remaining. Williams hasn’t thrown an interception since mid-October and has 306 rushing yards this season. Chicago has covered the spread in eight of its last nine home games, while Minnesota has covered the spread just once in its last six NFC North games. See which team to choose here.
Why Vikings can cover
Minnesota has exceeded expectations all season, winning eight of its first 10 games to stay in contention for the No. 1 seed in the NFC and the NFC North crown. The Vikings extended their winning streak to three games with a 23-13 win at Tennessee last week, covering the spread as 6-point road favorites. Quarterback Sam Darnold completed 20 of 32 passes for 246 yards, two touchdowns and zero interceptions.
Darnold also ran for 18 yards and a score, while wide receiver Jordan Addison had three catches for 61 yards and a touchdown. Minnesota has won five of its last six games against Chicago and has covered the spread in six of the last nine meetings. The Bears are just 2-14 in their last 16 games against NFC North teams.
