The game features the NFL debut of Vikings QB J.J. McCarthy and Bears coach Ben Johnson, with public betting favoring Bears to cover as 79% of ATS handle backs them.
- On Monday, the Minnesota Vikings visit the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field as 1.5-point favorites, with J.J. McCarthy making his NFL debut and Ben Johnson coaching his first Bears game.
