Vikings Spotlight

The Minnesota Vikings were able to hold on at home two weeks ago against the Pittsburgh Steelers, and will have had a bye week to prepare for this one. On the road, the Viking’s offense ranks 7th in points per game, 5th in pass yards, 14th in rush yards, and 5th in yards per play. Defensively on the road, the Vikings rank 30th in points allowed, 18th in pass yards allowed, 29th in rush yards allowed, and 23rd in yards per play.

Bears Spotlight

The Chicago Bears will be coming off two-straight losses, where their most recent was a 15-point blowout to the Green Bay Packers. At home, the Bear’s offense ranks 25th in points per game, 32nd in pass yards, 7th in rush yards, and 24th in yards per play. Defensively at home, the Bears rank 16th in points allowed, 6th in pass yards allowed, 19th in rush yards allowed, and 12th in yards per play.

Final Say

This free pick is going to involve a Justin Fields over under 208.5 pass yards prop bet for tonight. Fields has thrown for over 208.5 pass yards only twice in the 10 games he’s played this year. Although those two times happened in two of his last three games. And aside from their Baltimore game, Fields is averaging nearly 30 pass attempts per game in his last five starts. Minnesota has given up an average of 282 pass yards per game in their last four games. In fact, they’ve given up over 208 passing yards in six of their last seven games. It’ll be in the low 30s for game time with mild winds, so the weather shouldn’t be too crazy for this game. Expect the Bears to keep letting Fields air it out as they see what he’s got, which is why I like his pass yards to creep over 208.5 yards tonight.

Pick: Justin Fields Over 208.5 Total Pass Yards
