I like Minny and the under. Basically all the Bears want to do is to get a win and get the hell out of there in one piece. A win gives the Bears the NFC North title. With terrible weather conditions and a frozen field with no heat under the field, the Bears will simply run over the Vikes, who have no QB. That is why I like the under. I have to lean Mimmy on the side cover because of the 7.5 points. The Bears win by 4-7 points tonite.

It's very hard to discern what attitude the vikings will bring to this game and i think that is the difference. they are capable of just barely covering the game with their best effort imo...the bears are motivated and it's more than clear that for 2 weeks now they haven't given a true, 100% effort, and with a division on the line they will tonight.

I think the bears cover, and the game goes over. The 2nd half especially if the bears have a nice lead i think both teams will run the clock out to get off the field (the highest risk of an under imo)...but the bears are not going to lose this game imo. i teased them with another side that already came through. and i think the best investment is to tease the bears if anyone is uncomfortable with the 7+ points.

it's only when you begin to really question how good the bears are that you would hesitate to bet them here...they are much better than they have played the last few games (and not as good as their record indicates still)

I chose the Vikings using the philosophy of the Green Bay game yesterday. Green Bay puts Flynn out there, and very few people gave him a snowballs chance. Now with Webb likely playing against this Chicago defense, no one gives him a chance.

Also, with myself not being able to trust Cutler, I will take a flyer on the Vikings.

I'm just saying guys...this game is completely different from last night but the linesmakers are well aware of how it can look simliar on the surface..."unknown" QB starting for a team, pride, etc....

but the difference is GB is playing for something

Minnesota is not

The Bears are 100% motivated here. Just like the Jets looked terrible for several weeks and rose up yesterday, the Bears have looked terrible and now face the one and only situation they have left where a win and they're in.

They do NOT have another chance like this. Jets next week and GB the week after.

THIS is the Bears most important game (and in their minds, the only game). Trust me on this, the lines are setup to f--- with everybody

bears should be -7...even if favre started in the dome. Motivation is the key element to NFL football and the bears have it...and minny doesn't.

looking at the bears performance against ne in the snow and expecting a simliar result is recipe for betting disaster, imo.

It's showdown time...and Favre is stupidly playing one last card in the hopes he can ride off into the sunset having once again torched the bears

bring it on...in weather like this, DEFENSE does not get hurt...offense does
