Predictions and Combos for Top NFL Monday Night Football Game Week 1 - Minnesota Vikings Square off against Chicago Bears
The Minnesota Vikings and Chicago Bears are set to face off on September 8, 2025, for a highly anticipated Monday Night Football game. The Vikings, boasting a strong roster led by Justin Jefferson and Aaron Jones, are favored to win this divisional matchup.
The Vikings have had a dominant run against the Bears, winning seven of the last eight matchups, including both games in 2024. Their defense, which ranked top five in sacks in the previous season, could pose a significant challenge to the Bears' offensive line, which gave up 68 sacks in the 2024 season.
The Bears, on the other hand, are entering a new era with second-year quarterback Caleb Williams and new head coach Ben Johnson. Williams showed promise in his rookie season, accumulating 3,541 passing yards and six interceptions. However, the offensive struggles that plagued the Bears in the 2024 season may lead to a low-scoring game, making under on total points a reasonable prediction.
The Vikings' roster balance and coaching stability suggest they are favored to win. Rookie quarterback J.J. McCarthy will be making his first regular-season start for the Vikings, but the playmakers like Justin Jefferson may compensate for his inexperience.
Brian Flores' blitz-heavy defense could cause problems for the Bears' offense, further tipping the scales in the Vikings' favour. This is a same-game parlay, and our top picks for this game are the Vikings to win and under on total points.
This game promises to be an exciting divisional matchup, with the Vikings looking to continue their dominance over the Bears. Sports betting involves risk, and these predictions are based on current data and trends, not guarantees. Fans and bettors alike are eagerly awaiting this highly anticipated matchup.
