Minnesota Vikings v Chicago Bears: Prediction, Tips and Odds

The Minnesota Vikings have already claimed their play-off spot after results went their way this weekend, but they will still be motivated to beat NFC North rivals the Chicago Bears in Week 15 of the 2024 NFL season.

Minnesota knew a win would be enough for them to secure their play-off berth, but the Seattle Seahawks' 30-13 defeat to the Green Bay Packers confirmed Kevin O'Connell's team will be playing beyond the regular season.

Chicago are playing for pride after their slim play-off chances were ended in the last few days and they will hope to get one over their NFC North rivals on the road.

Minnesota Vikings v Chicago Bears prop bets - tips and predictions

Jordan Addison Over 53.5 Receiving Yards @ 5/6

Second-year pro Jordan Addison looks to have found his rhythm again in the NFL in recent weeks and he has become another reliable weapon for quarterback Sam Darnold.

Addison featured in 17 games last season, catching 70 passes for 910 yards. The youngster caught 10 touchdown passes and, while this season he only has four to his name, he has really stepped up to the plate in recent weeks.

The 22-year-old has caught 23 of his 35 targets for 410 yards and five touchdowns.

Darnold has Addison, star wide receiver Justin Jefferson, tight end T.J. Hockenson and running back Aaron Jones at his disposal this week and that should make life tough for Chicago.

Addison has found himself at the forefront of the Vikings' passing attack of late and the Bears will not be able to shut them all down, so expect Addison to add to his receiving yards in a big way.

Rome Odunze - Over 41.5 Receiving Yards @ 10/11

Like Addison, Bears receiver Rome Odunze has enjoyed a fruitful few weeks and he recorded the best game of his campaign in last week's 38-13 defeat to the San Francisco 49ers.

Odunze caught four of his five targets for 42 yards, collecting two touchdowns in the process.

The Bears leaned heavily on Odunze due to injuries to running backs D'Andre Swift and Roschon Johnson, and the latter has already been ruled out of Tuesday's encounter.

With Swift yet to pass a fitness test, third-string back Travis Homer could lead the line. Rookie quarterback Caleb Williams will be forced to pass the ball more as a result and the Vikings have been vulnerable against wide receivers this season.

Odunze's line looks reasonable, especially considering Chicago's injuries to their running game stars.

Minnesota Vikings v Chicago Bears money line, spread, over/under

	Money Line	Spread	Over/Under
Bears	5/16	+7 - 20/23	Under 43.5 - 10/11
Vikings	13/5	-7 - 20/21	Over 43.5 - 10/11

Minnesota Vikings -7 @ 20/21

The Vikings needed overtime to beat the Bears in Week 12, as they won 30-27 at Soldier Field.

Chicago put up a brave fight in that battle, but they were still in play-off contention during that contest and they have since lost two more games.

Minnesota have posted 23 or more points in four consecutive games, and they face a Bears team that have been useless on the road.

All of Chicago's wins have come at home or in London, and that does not bode well against one of their divisional rivals.

The Vikings fanbase will be in party mode after their play-off spot was confirmed and this could be a tough night at the office for the visitors.
