Vikes are -7.0 vs Bears

[purplefaithful]

Probably the most we'll be favored the remainder of this season. 

Even though the Bears look to have packed it in for the year, I expect a close game. Just the way these Norris matches go. 

I think the remaining schedule is quite difficult:

Bears
At Sea
GB
At Det

I'm not a gambler but I'd take the bears +7. That seems crazy. The NFL script writers will want a closer game then that for MNF.

The last look was Bears looking like garbage and the Vikings putting up 42 points. I'm sure it will be closer than necessary and stressful.

No team we can't beat; no team who can't beat us. Par for the course. But the final three make the Bears game very important. I like how Redmond and Turner are coming on. Should get Gilmore back this week and Pace back for the game against the yella team.

Getting IPJ and Gilmore back would be huge...

You could really see we were missing Pace's run stacking against the Falcons.  He's a force in the middle.  We'll need him healthy for Week 18 against Detroit and the playoffs.

Bears are playing for a top 10 draft pick.

Lots of ways to get in this weekend, only need one to happen:

The Vikings can clinch a playoff berth this week if any of these scenarios happen:

• #Vikings win or tie over the #Bears on MNF
• #49ers win or tie over the #Rams on TNF
• #Packers win or tie over the #Seahawks on SNF

For those interested:

Lions remaining:
Bills
@Bears
@Niner
Vikes

Packers remaining:
@Seattle
Saints
@Vikings
Bears

This should be one for the ages.

If Vikings and Lions are two loss teams does the Lions still automatically 1st seed?

In that case should the Vikings rest players at some point?
