Take Chicago. Everyone and their brother is on the Vikings tonight, but let’s keep some things in perspective. First and foremost, the overall talent in this matchup is more even than one would think. Justin Fields isn’t a legitimate threat as a passer but his running ability tilts the field at times and D.J. Moore is a weapon. The Vikings also can’t run the ball, which makes it difficult to sustain leads in the fourth quarter. This is a good spot to back the underdog in what could be a field goal game either way.

Take the over, which has cashed in nine out of the Bears’ last 12 road games and in six out of the last eight meetings between these two teams at U.S. Bank Stadium. Both of these defenses have been respectable of late, but tonight’s matchup has sneaky shootout potential. Justin Fields brings that big play element with his legs and Joshua Dobbs continues to grow in this Minnesota offense. Neither team will be able to run the ball too, which should lead to the ball being put in the air more often than not.

Bears vs. Vikings NFL Prediction: OVER 43.5

Sam Farley

When Justin Fields returned to action with the Bears last week, the first thing to notice was that he had his best rushing game of the season so far. His 104 yards was close to double his previous high of 59 from Week 1, and his 18 rushing attempts smashed the previous high mark of 11.

The Lions haven't been great in terms of rushing yards allowed to QBs this season, but the Vikings are also in the bottom third of the NFL against them, too. What changed is that the Bears appear to have realized what makes Fields a potential gamebreaker and they're letting him play as such instead of trying to turn him into a pocket passer, which felt like the plan to start the season.

Fields' rushing yard line sits at 52.5, and we have to hit the over on that if we believe the Bears will continue to let him try to win games with his feet. I'm sure that they will.

D’Onta Foreman is doubtful for this game, so the Bears backfield is going to be led by Khalil Herbert and Johnson.

Herbert returned last week for his first game since Week 5, carrying the ball 16 times for 35 yards. He established himself as the Bears’ RB1 again, although his efficiency wasn’t what it was earlier in the season.

Johnson, meanwhile, has been efficient for most of the season. The rookie is averaging 4.5 yards per carry, and he’s coming off a six-carry, 30-yard game last week.

The Viking ranks ninth in Rush DVOA, but their Adjusted DVOA is -0.1%, meaning they’re playing like a middle-of-the-pack defense of late. The increased role should get Johnson six carries, which would be enough for him to hit this over.

So you are taking the points and Chicago?

Herbert averaged a whopping 2.1 yards per carry last week.  Feeble. 

Thanks for your in put,very helpful.

New OC Joe Brady had the Bills offense looking much better
when it posted 32 points, Buffalo’s most since Week 4, and 393
yards of offense. Surprisingly, it was their fourth win by 25-plus
points this season. On the other side of the coin, with Monday
night’s win over the Chiefs, Eagles’ QB Jalen Hurts has won 12
straight regular-season games against winning teams. Counting
the playoffs, he is 17-7 SU and 16-8 ATS overall against the same,
including 12-3 SU and 11-4 ATS at home (11-0 SU and 9-2 ATS the
last eleven games). Thus, each team brings a lot to the table in
this contest. So much so that if the NFL playoffs were to begin
this week, Philly would own the No. 1 seed in the NFC. However,
due to its recent funk, Buffalo would be on the outside looking
in as the No. 8 seed in the AFC. Remember, though, the Bills
are one of only five NFL teams that rank in the Top 10 on both
offense and defense this season – the Eagles do not. We top it off
with the fact that Buffalo is 5-0 SUATS the last ten years against
foes coming off a Monday Night game. All of which leads to THE
CLINCHER: See this week’s AWESOME ANGLE on page 2.

The Vikings return home having had their 5-0 SUATS win skein
snapped in a loss at Denver last week. The bigger problem they face
tonight is they beat Chicago earlier this season in a game in which
they mustered 220 yards while being outstatted in the contest. It was
the game in which Justin Fields was injured, but he’s back. With it,
the Bears bring a 6-1 ATS log in Monday Night road games. On the
fl ip side, Minny is just 6-12 SU and 5-13 ATS on Mondays since 2009,
including 0-6 ATS when coming off a loss. Yes, it’s safe to say that this
