- The Bears are 2-3-1 ATS as underdogs and the Vikings are 3.5 road favorites this week.
- Aaron Jones has a great matchup to go over his reception prop (2.5) against Chicago.
- The Vikings lead the NFL in interceptions and Caleb Williams has +105 odds to throw a pick.
CHICAGO – The Minnesota Vikings are 3.5 favorites on the road this week against the Chicago Bears and are looking for their fourth straight win. The Bears are looking to snap a four-game losing streak and recover from a tough loss last week against the Green Bay Packers.
Take Minnesota To Cover -3.5
On the season, the Vikings have covered the spread in seven of ten games. Playing on the road, Minnesota is 3-2 ATS. Chicago is 5-4-1 ATS for the season but is 2-3-1 when playing as the underdog.
Minnesota has won seven of their last eight games against the Bears and won these seven games by an average of nine points. These legal sports betting trends make Minnesota to cover one of the best bets for NFL Sunday.
Caleb Williams Over 0.5 Interceptions -105
Caleb Williams has five interceptions on the season but has not thrown one over the Bear’s last four games. The Vikings’ defense leads the NFL in total interceptions at 16 and has recorded an interception in nine of their ten games this season.
This is by far one of the toughest matchups of Caleb Williams’ young career. Williams is already the most-sacked quarterback in the NFL this season (42) and the Vikings are tied for third for the most sacks (35). Constant pressure on Williams could make this one of the most underrated props at legal NFL betting sites.
Aaron Jones Over 2.5 Receptions -115
Aaron Jones has played a pivotal role in the Vikings offense this season and has five games with at least three total receptions. The Bears’ defense puts Jones in a great spot to be the recipient of checkdowns. Sam Darnold is already the second-most hurried quarterback in the NFL this season.
Opposing starting running backs have recorded over three receptions in six games against the Bears this season. Just last week, Josh Jacobs hauled in four catches for Green Bay. Aaron Jones saw a slightly decreased role last week against the Titans in total snaps but was a full participant in Wednesday’s practice.
