Chicago Bears at Minnesota Vikings (Vikings -10, Total 43½)

Venue: Metrodome (artificial)

Opening Line: Vikings -8½, Total 43

Records: Bears 5-8 (4-9-0 ATS, 7-6-0 O/U)
Vikings 7-6 (7-4-2 ATS, 7-6-0 O/U)

Key Injuries

Bears - Doubtful: QB Rex Grossman (knee) Questionable: DT Darwin Walker (elbow) DT Tommie Harris (knee) and CB Nathan Vasher (groin)

Vikings - Doubtful S Tank Williams (knee) Questionable: WR Bobby Wade (knee), S Mike Doss (hamstring) CB Charles Gordon (quadricep) and G Artis Hicks (lower back)

Trends

- Chicago is 1-4 ATS in its past five regular season games played at night.

- Minnesota is 5-1 ATS in their last six starts overall.

- The Vikings have had 6 overs and 3 unders in their past nine outings.

WOL Playcall: Yes the Vikings are hot (4-0 SU and ATS) and have the league's best rushing attack, but their passing game stinks, ranking second to last in the entire NFL.

The Bears have been struggling defensively, but if the team can shut down Chester Taylor and Adrian Peterson the Vikes could be screwed. Take Chicago to cover at +8½.
