The Minnesota Vikings and the Chicago Bears will attempt to give a little bit of clarity to a jumbled NFC North situation today in a 1:00pm ET skirmish at Soldier Field in Chicago. The Vikings, after starting the season 0-2, have won three of their last four while the Bears have won two of their last three games.
NFL Picks at BetUS.com have Chicago as a -3 home favorite and the game total set at 37.5.
Minnesota was on a Monday night high after beating New Orleans a couple of weeks ago, but they may have floated a little too long. The winless Lions gave the Vikings all they wanted last weekend and it took a controversial call late in the game for Brad Childress' team to secure a 12-10 win.
The Vikings had little trouble executing versus the Lions as they put a statistical beating on them, but they were careless with the football. Gus Frerotte threw a pick and Adrian Peterson lost two fumbles.
Chicago ended a two game winning streak last week in Atlanta by losing 22-20 to the Falcons. The Bears trailed almost the entire game but kicked a field goal late in the fourth quarter to take a 20-19 lead. The Falcons, however, were not deterred. Quarterback Matt Ryan engineered a game winning drive that was capped off by a Jason Elam field goal.
The Bears will need a short memory as their battle with the Vikings could possibly be critical for playoff positioning.
NFL Picks Trend: The Vikings are 1-9 straight up in their last 10 games as a road underdog with a spread between 0 to 3.5.
