The Chicago Bears and Minnesota Vikings kicked off their seasons against one another, and with the second half of the campaign now underway, it’s time for them to face off once again. The NFC North is arguably the best division in football, so to get you set for this classic rivalry, we’ve broken down our best Bears vs. Vikings predictions for Sunday.

With the matchup also featuring Justin Jefferson and other notable names, our Bears vs. Vikings picks pair perfectly with DFS lineups, so we’ve also shared a guaranteed two-part Sleeper Fantasy promo code bonus with you below!

Bears vs. Vikings Predictions for NFL Week 11, Sunday 11/16

Before we start discussing the Week 1 meeting between these division rivals, we simply can’t ignore their most recent games. Both were part of the most exciting this past Sunday, but had polar opposite results. Coming into this weekend on opposite sides of the momentum spectrum can certainly be considered for any Bears vs. Vikings predictions.

Chicago pulled off a miraculous come-from-behind victory in the snow against the New York Giants, while Minnesota had a chance to do the same indoors against the Baltimore Ravens but failed on a 4th-and-4 with less than a minute to go. However, it was the Vikings who got the win over the Bears in Week 1.

That made it three straight wins over Chicago and eight of the last nine meetings, but of course, it’s a new era with the battle of 2024 NFL Draft QBs. So far, #1 overall pick Caleb Williams and #10 JJ McCarthy have faced off just once - that earlier matchup this season. As both look to stay relevant in the NFC North, we need a best bet from our Bears vs. Vikings predictions!
 

 

 

Bears vs. Vikings Best Bet: Minnesota Team Total Over 25.5 Points (Use Sleeper Fantasy DFS Picks As Well)

Of course, Rome Odunze found the endzone on Sunday, the week AFTER we had him doing so, but we won’t let Chicago keep us from building our season-long betting record. Speaking of the premier WRs in this matchup, Justin Jefferson was somehow unable to capitalize on an incredible matchup with the Ravens' poor pass defense.

With just four catches for 37 yards and no touchdowns, can we trust him to put on a vintage performance against a division rival for our Bears vs. Vikings predictions? From a yardage perspective, Chicago isn’t nearly as polarizing as Minnesota. That’s to say that teams have been able to get chunks of it both through the air and on the ground.

Meanwhile, the Vikings' defense has excelled at stopping the pass far better than the run. As excited as Bears fans likely are to have seen D’Andre Swift healthy and average over six yards per carry, the Giants have the NFL’s worst run defense. So, if you want to go with Bears vs. Vikings player props, consider a Justin Jefferson anytime TD.

He’s found the endzone each of the last two times these NFC North foes have met, but we still prefer a more general approach. His scoring should help lead to a bounce back, and along with scoring 27+ in the past three meetings, we’ve got Minnesota’s team total over 25.5 points (enjoy Sleeper DFS lineups as well) as the best bet from our Bears vs. Vikings predictions.

Bears vs. Vikings Injury Report & Latest News

Chicago got to enjoy the return of D’Andre Swift on Sunday, but on defense, they missed Dominique Robinson and TJ Edwards. As for other Bears vs. Vikings injury news to monitor, keep an eye on DJ Moore, but he is expected to be fine.

In Minnesota, they’ve had JJ McCarthy back for a couple of weeks, so now their biggest concern is the fact that Jonathan Greenard was unable to return to Sunday’s game.
