In their last games the Vikings beat the Detroit Lions 28-19 and the Bears lost to the Lions 37-34 in OT.
Minnesota Vikings
The Vikings are led by their 2nd year QB Teddy Bridgewater, who has been solid on the season and in the win over the Lions in their last game he passed for 316 yards with 2 TD and he was not picked off. He does not have a great WR corps, but Stefon Diggs has been surprise this season and Mike Wallace has nearly 300 receiving yards.
The Bears rank a legit 6th in the league in pass defense, but that is because most teams are running on them and their run D only ranks 20th.
The Bears will get a big dose of Adrian Peterson in this game and in the win over the Lions he rushed for 98 yards. He ranks 4th in the league in rushing yards.
[dfads params=’groups=226&limit=1&return_javascript=1′]
In their loss to the Lions before their bye week they gave up 391 passing yards and 155 rushing yards.
Chicago Bears
The Bears have won 7 of their last 10 games against the Vikings.
Jay Cutler passed for 353 yards in the loss to the Lions, but only had 1 TD and he was picked off. In his previous 2 games, both Bears’ wins, he had 4 TD and only 1 INT.
It is key that he avoids the pick in this game, but he has WR Alshon Jeffrey back to give him another weapon on the outside.
Matt Forte does rank 6th in the league in rushing yards, but he has not rushed for 100+ yards since the season opener and in his last 4 games he has failed to average 4 yards per carry. In the loss to the Lions he rushed for 69 and only averaged 2.9 yards per rush.
