Both the Minnesota Vikings and the Chicago Bears sit at 2-1 on the season and the Division rivals will clash today when the Bears host the Vikings at Soldier Field. Both teams have formidable defenses, with the Bears surrendering an average of 13 points per game and the Vikings averaging 15.7. Minnesota has the best Back in the league, Dalvin Cook, and he should be able to wear down the Bears’ defense, which will open up passing lanes for Kirk Cousins who is due for a big game. Cook has 375 yards in the first 3 games and is averaging 6.6 yards per carry . Chicago racked up 31 points last week but that was against a really bad Washington Redskins team. Prior to that, they mustered just 16 points against Denver and only 3 against Green Bay. Currently, Minnesota is +1.5. Take the points and the Vikes.
TODAY’S PICK: MINNESOTA VIKINGS +1.5
