00:02 >> The Vikings had won five straight prior to last Sunday night in Mile High against the Broncos.
00:09 A one-point game decided at the very end.
00:12 Denver wins 21-20, ending that five-game win streak for Minnesota.
00:17 But they covered in that game, they've covered in six straight.
00:20 The Vikings actually one of the best cover teams in the National Football League here, Donny.
00:24 Through their first 11 games, seven, three, and one ATS.
00:28 The Bears have been booked as an underdog in nine of their 11 games so far this year.
00:33 They'll be the three-point underdog tonight on the road in Minneapolis.
00:36 The over-under currently stands, Donny, at 43 and a half.
00:40 As you look at this game, spread, money line, over-under, Donny.
00:44 What do you think the flow looks like tonight in Minneapolis?
00:47 >> Let's be honest with it.
00:49 It's two teams that we know a lot about.
00:51 Why? Because we watch them play.
00:52 But obviously, inserting of different quarterbacks here.
00:55 Tyson, Bajent, Led, Bears.
00:58 You get Justin Fields back in the fold.
00:59 Hey, looks like he can make the change move with just his legs.
01:02 You take a look at Kirk Cousins, more of an aerial assault.
01:04 Then you take a look at Josh Dobbs, more of, I'll just do what it takes to get a first down
01:08 at every play, whether it's running or throwing today.
01:11 So if we're looking at the prime time 2023 statistics, you probably look at the 43 and a half
01:17 and say, yeah, it should be 23 and a half.
01:19 We know this game is going to end up.
01:20 But quite honestly, there's nothing for the Chicago Bears to play for this season.
01:25 Unless they want to say, yes, Justin Fields is our franchise guy.
01:28 Let's open the playbook.
01:28 Let's stay aggressive.
01:29 Let's see what he can do.
01:30 They should have beaten the Detroit Lions last time out here, which is an epic collapse on
01:35 their defense and a great performance by the Detroit Lions down the stretch.
01:38 I'm looking for that type of Chicago Bears offense to be on the offensive tonight against
01:42 an average Minnesota defense.
01:44 And if we take a look at the Minnesota Vikings, nothing to shake a stick at here going up
01:47 against that Chicago Bears defense.
01:49 Yeah, they play decent football against the run, but they're susceptible to the pass.
01:52 Now, granted, we would have loved to have had Justin Jefferson in this football game,
01:56 this would have lengthened the football field and open up everything underneath.
01:59 But I don't even think that's going to be the case.
02:01 If you're asking me for one singular bet tonight, I do like the Chicago Bears getting the three
02:05 points, but I think the total actually goes over tonight.
02:08 It's in Minnesota.
02:09 It's in a dome.
02:10 We're not worried about any weather conditions creeping in.
02:13 Why not the Chicago Bears stay aggressive tonight and force the Minnesota Vikings to
02:16 keep up with them as well?
02:17 I think we go over the total tonight, even though that's really not the way to go here
02:21 with the props to market, particularly over the past couple of weeks here in the NFL.
02:25 Prime time has been brutal to the unders.
