Minnesota is also the odds favorite this week, the line on the Vikings listed as -550 at Bookmaker and the Bears line is underdog +450. These two NFC North football teams have already met this season in October, a game won by the Vikings 34-31.

The Minnesota Vikings should be able to cover the 11 points spread, considering that only safety Mike Doss and cornerback Charles Gordon remain questionable for the Monday night football game. At the Bears camp, however, quarterback Rex Grossman is listed as doubtful for the game against the Vikings and questionable remain DTs Tommie Harris and Darwin Walker, as well as CB Nathan Vasher. Consider that Chicago is 5-14 against the spread in its last 19 games and Minnesota is 5-1 against the spread in its last 6 games. Also, the total has gone OVER in 5 of Minnesota's last 7 games.
