Minnesota Vikings at Chicago Bears Odds – NFL Betting

The NFC North lead will be on the line as the Chicago Bears (3-3) host the Minnesota Vikings (3-3) in NFL odds on Sunday. Both teams come in at 3-3 and both have played a number of close games this season. Odds makers have the Bears -3 point favorites at home against the Vikings in NFL betting odds with a total of 37.5 for the 1:00pm EST game on FOX. The Bears lost on a last second field goal to Atlanta 22-20 last week. All three of Chicago’s losses this season have come by three points or less. The Bears will look to put last week’s loss behind them as they host Minnesota.

"When you fight that hard to get back in the football game and then come up a little bit short, it's always tough," head coach Lovie Smith said. "We've had opportunities to win the three games that we've lost, but I think your record is what you are. We're a 3-3 team right in the mix. We're a 3-3 team that's on top of our division with important games coming up." The Vikings haven’t exactly overwhelmed their opponents this season but they are 3-3 after an unimpressive 12-10 win over Detroit last week. The Vikings have gotten last second wins the past two weeks. The passing game for Minnesota has been effective as it has taken the pressure off of Adrian Peterson. Quarterback Gus Frerotte threw for 296 yards last week and could have success on Sunday against a Chicago defense that is 27th in the league against the pass. The Bears have been hurt in the secondary by injuries and suddenly look very vulnerable on defense.
