Monday Night Lock: 2023 Week 12
Bears @ Vikings (-3), O/U 43.5
NFC North showdown on Monday Night. The Bears enter this game playing better football of late. Justin Fields being back certainly brings some electricity to this offense. Their defense has been surprisingly solid of late, particularly against the run.
The Vikings enter this game after finally losing one last week. They’re squarely in the thick of a playoff hunt right now, with the division still being in sight but the Wild Card certainly being theirs to lose. Justin Jefferson will not be playing this week but his return is around the corner. This team looks more formidable than their 13-win team last year.
I’m taking the field goal with the Bears here. I expect a tightly contested, low scoring game. I don’t know if the Bears win outright, but I feel good having a full field goal in my back pocket. I’ll hammer the under as well.
