Chicago Bears at Minnesota Vikings Preview:
The 4-9 Chicago Bears will look to break a seven-game losing streak when they visit the 11- 2 Minnesota Vikings on Sunday. Last week, the Chicago Bears started a new era under interim head coach Thomas Brown. It was not a great showing by the Bears. They lost 38-13 and were outgained 452 to 162. Their loss last week locked up their fourth straight losing season.
The Vikings spoiled Kirk Cousins’s homecoming by beating the Atlanta Falcons 42-21. In the fourth quarter, they outscored the Falcons 21-0 to secure the win.
In that game, Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison become the first Vikings teammates to record at least 125 receiving yards and two touchdowns each.
This Monday, when they welcome the Bears, they will look to move one step closer to clinching a playoff berth.

NBC Sports Bet Best Bets:
NBC Sports analyst Brad Thomas (@MrBradThomas) recommends betting on Vikings -7 as the best bet...
Thomas: “There will likely be a bounce back for the Chicago Bears. However, I am all over the Vikings this weekend. The Vikings are 11-2 and 8-4-1 against the spread this season with an average margin of victory of 7.6.
The Bears are more than just a new coach away from success. If Sam Darnold can replicate even a little bit of his last week’s success, they will cruise this Monday.”
