Vikes at Bears Are Favored, What?

sounds about right i guess. This shouldbe a low scoring game  Bears are really beat up offense and we are on a roll on O.  Only way they beat us is Foles going off, and he has been pretty shaky this year.

Can blame the weather if it's another purple flop @ Soldier Field.

For once I’d like to see our team walk into Soldier Field & act like they at least belong there... too many times it looks like an early career Mike Tyson fight & we get punched in the mouth & react w/ what seems like little or no response... I’m fucking sick of it!  :s 

After GB, would it really surprise anyone if we win @ Soldier Field and lose to em @ home? the old trapper used to drop quiet a bit "its not who you play, but when you play em" 

Thats and adage that's held-up for decades now. 

I guess we will see how good this new offensive line is eh?

I think we should be favored based on how both teams are playing "right now." It would not surprise me at all if the Vikings take this one. Still, this is not a game I'd put money on. 

The Bears (last 2 weeks) held Derrick Henry to 68 yards on 21 carries and Alvin Kamara to 67 yards on 12 carries. 

In the 3 games Dalvin has played against the Bears (in his career), he has rushed for a grand total of 86 yards on 34 carries (2.5 yard average).

Cousins is 0-9 on Monday Nights. 

The Bears have lost 3 in a row but to very good teams (Rams, Saints and Titans).

The Bears will be hungry for a win. This is not a game I would put my money on either.

No doubt. A lot of things going against us. But don't forget also that the Bears are terrible on offense this year. I doubt I need to remind you that Nick Foles is their QB. Last week, their leading rusher in the first half was a LB who had 11 yards on a fake punt. This is not a good team. 

Anybody's game. 

We have a knack historically of making mediocre Bears qb's look like all-pros for a day.   And the last time we faced Nick Foles was 38-7 Philly.

From a Chicago paper: "We’re six starts into the Nick Foles era and the Bears indeed have an identity – just not the one anyone wants. It’s an identity of being an awful, unwatchable catastrophe of an offense...Bears games are now driving fans to shut off their TVs and find something else to do...The only thing stable about this offense is how bad they’ve been since Foles took over. "

Yes, and I'm well aware of our knack for making bad QBs look good for a day before they turn back into pumpkins. And it wouldn't surprise me at all to see that happen again....

That was three seasons ago...on a different team. Foles has been terrible this year....

We've all seen Elflein abused by Hicks in the past.  Time to see what's what and if Cleveland is indeed better,

We gonna win it with Defense? i know right? 

Bears are the underdog?  Pick the Bears. 

If history holds true, we will look ugly, slow, and trip on our dicks . .

Hedge your emotions, either the Vikes win and you lose the bet or the Vikes lose and the money made softens the blow

The Vikings defense needs to make the Bears offense shit the bed more than the Bears defense makes our offense shit the bed.

I think this game is much more on the offense.  If Cousins and our offense go full tank mode, we don't have a chance, but if they play decent, our chances are pretty good.

the thing that will be the primary factor in a win or a loss is the offensive line.  If the line continues to improve and plays well against the Bears front seven then we have a good chance of beating them even steamroll them.  If it regresses then we are screwed.

with the way Trubisky has lit us up in the past, I would not be surprised if they put him in if Foles has problems and they end up winning the game
