Bears/Vikings Over 43.5
This season’s primetime games have been boring, and the Under has dominated. No one game has anything to do with the other, so it’s the equivalent of a roulette wheel landing on black ten times in a row. It happens. What better way to break that trend than the newly acquired Vikings QB Joshua Dobbs and the struggling Bears QB Justin Field getting together for a shootout? The Bears have won in primetime this year against Washington and put up many points. Justin Fields has targets to throw to, and their offensive line isn’t horrible. The Vikings have a veteran offensive line, giving Dobbs time to throw the ball. Both defenses can stop the rush well, so I expect a lot of passing. More passing extends the game, leading to big plays, penalties, and more drives per team. Look for a higher-than-usual score on Monday Night. Take the Over.
