Vikings Hope To Turn Things Around Against Division Rival

Following a 3-2 start, Minnesota has dropped three of its last four games, including a 27-19 setback against the Baltimore Ravens.

The Vikings led 10-9 at the break and held Baltimore without a touchdown in the first half. Unfortunately, the Ravens found their groove in the second half, leaning on their ground game.

When it was all said and done, the Ravens came away with their third straight victory after a 1-5 start. Minnesota committed 13 infractions, including a whopping eight false-start penalties.

The team also was 3-for-14 on third down and committed three turnovers, leading to 13 points for the road team.

Chicago Looks To Make It Three Straight

On the other side, the Bears enter this matchup amid a two-game win streak. This includes a 24-20 victory against the New York Giants.

As was the case against Cincinnati, Chicago found itself trailing in the fourth quarter. In this instance, they faced a 20-10 deficit with 10:19 left to play.

Caleb Williams trimmed the deficit to 20-17 at the 3:56 mark, courtesy of a two-yard TD pass to Rome Odunze. After the defense forced the Giants to stall on their next drive, Williams went to work again.

Following a 27-yard completion to Luther Burden III, Williams scored on a 17-yard run to give the Bears a 24-20 lead, enbaling the Bears to produce a come-from-behind win for the second consecutive week.

Vikings vs Bears NFL Pick

Here's a look at what you need to know for both teams ahead of this Week 11 matchup.

  • The Vikings are 2-4 straight-up (SU) in their last six games.
  • Minnesota is 2-4 ATS in its previous six outings.
  • The Bears are 6-1 in their last seven contests.
  • Chicago is 5-2 ATS in its previous seven matchups.

True, the Vikings have dominated this series, winning eight of the previous 10 meetings. However, given Chicago's hot start, combined with that fact that J.J. McCarthy has struggled somewhat under his first year under center, the Bears have more than an outside shot of coming away with a victory.
