Chicago Bears vs Minnesota Vikings prediction

Between taking over the duties of the head coach from Matt Eberflus and figuring out why the offense has stalled, interim head coach Thomas Brown has his work cut out for him tonight.

The Bears offense wasn't flashy under Eberflus, but it was still chugging along at a halfway respectable rate. Since Brown was placed in charge, however, it's been all downhill.

They did stick around against the NFC's top dogs, the Detroit Lions. But a Week 14 capitulation against the San Francisco 49ers brought them back to their old ways. We aren't too high on the Bears getting their competitive edge back this week. Sportskeeda's Playoff Predictor has a similar train of thought, predicting a 26-19 win for the Vikings tonight.

Chicago Bears vs Minnesota Vikings fantasy picks

We haven't seen Keenan Allen, D.J. Moore or Rome Odunze consistently deliver the goods, but this isn't the worst matchup for the Bears' receiving corps. The Vikings have allowed the most fantasy points to wide receivers this season and both Allen and Moore scaled the 20-point barrier when they met the last time in Week 12. We are leaning a little more towards Moore this week.

On the Vikings' side of things, Justin Jefferson has a tough matchup but it's difficult to leave him out of your lineup. He is an automatic start but his teammate Aaron Jones should also be in the thick of action tonight. In Week 12, Jones went berserk on the Bears, racking up 25 touches for 129 yards and a score.

Tight end T.J. Hockenson also appears primed to work himself back into fantasy contention while Sam Darnold should also be on your radar, given the form he is in.
