This is a 10* NFC NORTH TOW on the OVER Vikes/Bears.

I think this one sets up to be a higher-scoring shootout, rather than a lower-scoring battle.

Minnesota is 8-2 and off three straight victories. The Vikes have seen the total go UNDER in three straight as well, but note that dating to last year Minnesota has seen the total eclipse the posted number in five of its last six after playing to three or more straight OVERs in a row.

The Bears are 4-6 after four straight losses. All four games have gone UNDER the number.

But with a tough Thanksgiving game at Detroit on Thursday, it's now or never for Chicago.

With each team pushing the pace like I'm suspecting they will, everything does indeed point to this total flying OVER the number sooner, rather than later.

Good luck, NP
