Bears at Vikings: Predictions, picks, odds for NFL Week 15 game
"Monday Night Football" will feature an NFC North battle with the Chicago Bears (4-9) taking on the Minnesota Vikings (11-2) in Minneapolis.
There have been plenty of lows on the season for Chicago, but it might have hit a new one after it got demolished by the San Francisco 49ers. The Bears weren't ever in the game and the season is headed toward another disappointing one.
No revenge was going to be handed by Kirk Cousins in his return to Minnesota. Instead, Sam Darnold once again stole the show with a monster game for the sixth win in a row. The Vikings are now one win away from clinching a playoff spot. Will Minnesota secure its postseason spot before the game kicks off, will it get it with a win or will the Bears play spoiler?

Lorenzo Reyes: Vikings 28, Bears 13
It’s tough to back the Bears, especially given that rookie Caleb Williams will be going against veteran defensive coordinator Brian Flores. Plus, Minnesota’s passing attack is thriving with Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison proving difficult to defend.
Tyler Dragon: Vikings 28, Bears 20
Chicago’s lost seven straight games since starting the year 4-2. The Vikings will extend the Bears’ losing streak to eight in a row.
Richard Morin: Vikings 30, Bears 20
The Bears have turned the page to next season. The Vikings are one of the surprises of the NFL season.
Jordan Mendoza: Vikings 30, Bears 20
The last time these two met, the Vikings blew a late lead and nearly let Chicago steal a victory away. When this matchup takes place in Minnesota, that won't be the case. The home crowd makes life tough for Chicago as Minnesota has no problems clinching a playoff spot.
