The NFL betting market is live, meaning it’s always moving, adjusting and reacting to a handful of factors, like money, betting action, weather and player news.

This is also where the saying, “pros bet numbers, not teams” comes from.

For example, if tonight’s Vikings vs. Bears line was Minnesota -3, savvy bettors would be all over Kirk Cousins and Company.

Chicago +10.5? You can bet that sharp action would be burying the underdog.

Interestingly, tonight’s Vikings vs. Bears spread is sitting between 6.5 and 7 across the market, begging an interesting question: Should bettors lay the points with Minnesota or take the full touchdown with Chicago?

Our NFL PRO Projections provide a very clear answer.

Vikings vs. Bears Betting Model Prediction

Obviously, no matter which team you bet for Monday Night Football it’s crucial to lock in the half-point on or off the key number of 7.

But our NFL betting model suggests that the smartest way to play the Vikings vs. Bears spread is to snag Chicago getting a full touchdown.

Our projection of Bears +4.5 translates to a 2.8% edge when compared to the consensus spread of +6.5, and bettors can increase that even further by visiting The Action Network’s NFL Live Odds Page and grabbing Chicago at +7, which is available at DraftKings Sportsbook as of the time of writing.

Sure, +6.5 is fine, but putting in a few seconds of extra work to get down on one of the most important numbers in football betting is much better.

PRO Projections Pick: Bears +7
