Monday Night Football: Jared Hackmyer picks the hot Vikings against the cold Bears in chilly Chicago
Game time is 8:15 pm ET on ESPN.
Vikings (-3) BEARS (43.5)
Jared’s Pick: Vikings
Breakout Player: RB Dalvin Cook
Chicago has declined badly after starting the season 5-1. Tonight, they are looking to avoid their fourth straight loss against a Minnesota team coming off two straight wins. With the Bears have the best D the Vikings have faced in weeks, the Vikings are going to have to do more than feed the ball to Dalvin Cook. They're going to need to get WR Adam Theilen and their other weapons involved. But after watching the way both teams have been playing the last few weeks, I have Minnesota covering the spread.
