Minnesota temporarily saved its season when it held on for a 36-28 victory over Pittsburgh last Thursday night, and the Vikings have had an extra three days to prepare for the Bears, who have lost seven of their last eight games, including 45-30 to Green Bay after leading 27-21 at the half. Justin Fields threw for 224 yards on 18 of 33 passing, but he also threw two interceptions. Chicago averages only 17.8 points per game, and it has covered the spread just once in its last eight games. The Bears have lost four straight home games. Kirk Cousins threw for 216 yards against the Steelers, doing enough to keep his team ahead, and Dalvin Cook rushed for 205 yards and two TDs. The Vikings have gone UNDER eight of their past 10 Monday games, and the UNDER is 6-1 the last seven meetings at Chicago. The Bears are 24-10 UNDER following a loss, and they are 18-7 UNDER their past 25 home games. Minnesota has renewed confidence after beating Pittsburgh, and the Bears could be looking to fire their coach after the season. Play the Vikings on the moneyline and also back the UNDER.
