Minnesota at Chicago

The Chicago Bears lead the NFC North but the Vikings are right on their heels at just a half-game behind. This is obviously a big game with the winner leading the division when it is over. Minnesota had accumulated a lot of injuries and are coming off their bye week and are healthier than they have been in a while. Minnesota was also playing at a high level prior to their bye as they were 4-0 SU and 4-0 ATS, discounting their game vs. 9-1 New Orleans. This is not familiar territory for Chicago who is fighting for the division at this stage of the season. Since Mike Zimmer took over in Minnesota, he is 48-23-5 ATS including 15-5-1 ATS as a dog of +3 or more. Chicago could be hampered in a close game with kicker Cody Parkey who missed four kicks last week. Take Minnesota.
