Matchup Preview

Updated 1 month ago
Recent meetings and form tilt toward the Vikings, while the Bears still carry higher franchise pedigree overall. There is no strong home tilt and the head to head scoring picture suggests a moderate scoring game. Both offenses and defenses show flat recent trends, so execution on early downs will matter most. The Vikings' steadier recent form gives a practical edge, but the Bears pedigree keeps this close. Turnovers and red zone finishing stand out as likely swing elements for either side.
House ranges here use only recent form, franchise pedigree, neutral venue, and historical scoring. Treat them as conceptual guidance rather than official lines.

Edge Meter

Offense 6/10

Minnesota's steadier recent form nudges the offensive edge, while Chicago's unit shows little immediate bounce despite deeper franchise strength.

Defense 6/10

Chicago's longer term defensive pedigree gives an edge in baseline quality, even as recent performance has dipped against Minnesota.

Special Teams 5/10

No clear special teams advantage appears in the trend set and the neutral venue further reduces any gap.

Coaching 6/10

Franchise pedigree suggests coaching stability for Chicago, but short term results erode some of that practical advantage.

Key Mismatches

  • Recent form versus franchise pedigree
    Chicago's deeper long term pedigree conflicts with their recent downward run, creating a mismatch between baseline quality and current play.
  • Scoring shape from head to head
    Past meetings point to a moderate scoring profile, which can punish teams that rely on pure volume or high risk approaches.
  • Neutral venue impact
    With no meaningful home advantage, situational factors like red zone execution and turnover control become decisive swing elements.

Trend Callouts

Recent meetings favor the Vikings and give them a clearer short term stance. Franchise pedigree leans to the Bears despite their recent downturn. Head to head scoring points to a moderate pace rather than a shootout.
