Minnesota VikingsMinnesota Vikings

Minnesota aims for a second road win to improve from a 1-4 start. Historically, they’ve won 5 of the last 8 away games. Kirk Cousins boasts a 67.2% completion rate, 1,498 yards, 13 TDs, and 4 interceptions. Jefferson and Hockenson combined have 825 yards and 5 TDs, while Addison has 19 catches. Their running game averages 80.8 yards/game, with Mattison leading at 276 yards. Defensively, they concede 24.4 points and 342.4 yards/game. Bynum has 51 tackles, Hunter 6 sacks, and Jackson an interception. They’ve struggled in recent away games with less rest and consistently miss the spread. They rank last in punt returns and possession time.

 

Chicago BearsChicago Bears

The Bears aim for back-to-back wins for a 2-4 record but have faced 9 straight home losses. Justin Fields has a 61.8% completion rate with 1,143 yards, 11 TDs, and 5 interceptions. Moore and Kmet combined for 762 yards and 8 TDs, while Mooney has 8 catches. They average 130.8 rushing yards/game, with Herbert at 272 yards. Defensively, they allow 31.4 points and 384.2 yards/game. Edwards leads with 62 tackles, Ngakoue has 2 sacks, and Sanborn one interception. The Bears face a 15-game Sunday losing streak, struggle against teams with losing records, and have concerning pass defense stats.

 

Prediction

The Vikings are struggling, and Jefferson’s potential absence is concerning. The Bears, after beating the Commanders and having extra prep time, are dark horse contenders. Yet, their defense and Fields’ inconsistency after only one win versus Washington make them volatile. The Bears’ 15-game Sunday losing streak is notable. This match is crucial for the Vikings. I’d bet on the Vikings to cover the -2.5 spread on BUSR NFL Odds, regardless of Jefferson’s status.
