Chicago Bears vs Minnesota Vikings Prediction 11-24-24 NFL Picks

The Minnesota Vikings and the Chicago Bears meet Sunday in NFL action from Soldier Field. Here’s a Chicago Bears vs Minnesota Vikings prediction. We will look at this from a betting perspective and determine the best Bears vs Vikings pick.

Minnesota Vikings Betting Preview

The Vikings got off to a nice start this year, winning their first five straight Games. Those victories came over the Giants, 49ers, Texans, Packers and Jets. Minnesota would lose the next two versus the Lions and Rams, then recovered with wins over the Colts and Jaguars.

In the Titans matchup on Sunday, Minnesota scored in each of the first three quarters during a 23-13 win. QB Sam Darnold finished with 246 yards and two scores alongside one rush TD. Justin Jefferson caught six balls for 81 yards to top the receivers.

Chicago Bears Betting Preview

Over on the Bears’ side, they started out the year on a 4-2 run, taking out the Titans, Rams, Panthers and Jaguars during that time. The next three were all losses however, as Chicago fell to the CoMMAnders, Cardinals and Patriots.

Matched up against the Packers in their last outing, the Bears held a 19-14 edge going into the fourth quarter but ultimately lost 20-19. QB Caleb Williams put up 231 yards passing, and D’Andre Swift led the rush with 14 carries for 71 yards and a score.

Chicago Bears vs Minnesota Vikings Prediction

I’ll lean toward Minnesota. The Vikings are coming off a pretty clean road win versus a struggling Titans team, notching 318 yards (236 passing) and 24 first downs in the 10-point victory. The Vikings went a tepid 5-of-14 on third downs, but the defense helped out with 6-of-15 on the other side. Minnesota benefitted from some sloppy Tennessee play (13 penalties for 91 yards) as well.

As for the Bears, they let another one go late in Sunday’s matchup with the Packers. Chicago surrendered just 1-of-5 on third downs and 23:39 in time of possession in that one but couldn’t finish off the win despite playing fairly well overall. The Bears have been below 20 points in four straight Games now, so it won’t take much for the Vikings to get a lead and keep it.
