The Vikings are coming into this game off of a loss against the Chiefs in their last game and they have been playing in some high scoring games this season. They have had 47 points or more in 3 of their last 4 games and they have also had both teams score at least 20 points in 3 of their last 4 games as well. They are going up against a Bears team that has also been playing in some high scoring games recently as they have had over 50 points scored in each of their last 3 straight as well as 4 of their 5 games this season. Their offense has scored at least 20 points in 3 of their 5 games, including each of their last 2, but their defense has also allowed 20 points or more in every game this year. The Bears are coming off of their 1st win of the season which came on the road on Thursday night so they also have some extra rest for this game and will have some confidence from picking up their 1st win of the season. The passing offense has been a lot better in their last 2 games against bad defenses for the Bears and they are going up against another bad passing defense in the Vikings as they have been allowing a lot of yards and points all season. The Vikings are already 1-4 though and they need to win this game so they will be pushing hard for the win since moving the ball on offense has not been a problem for them. The Bears also have an awful passing defense as well so the Vikings are going to score points here in this must win game for them. Between these two teams, there will be enough points in this game to push it over the total.
