Read our full Vikings vs Bears predictions for Monday night’s matchup
Vikings vs Bears anytime touchdown scorer pick: Jordan Mason (+180)
Odds available at DraftKings Sportsbook at time of publishing.
The split backfield in Minnesota starts Monday Night. Veteran Aaron Jones is coming off a career-high 255 carries and is turning 31 years old in December. Insert Jordan Mason, who comes over from San Francisco after filling the Christian McCaffrey void for over half the season. He brings another dimension to a Vikings offense that is filled with weapons. But their best weapon, other than Justin Jefferson, comes from the sidelines – Head Coach Kevin O’Connell. With O’Connell leading the charge, I expect the Vikings to have plenty of opportunities in the redzone, even with J.J. McCarthy making his NFL debut. Give me Mason to find end endzone at +180 on DraftKings.
Vikings vs Bears anytime touchdown scorer pick: Rome Odunze (+200)
Odds available at BetMGM Sportsbook at time of publishing.
It was an underwhelming rookie season for Rome Odunze, but not much of the blame was on him. He reeled in 54 catches on 101 targets – 3rd most targets on the team behind D.J Moore and Keenan Allen, who is now back in Los Angeles with the Chargers. A sophomore surge begins on Monday Night with offensive guru Ben Johnson calling the plays for the Bears. Look for Caleb Williams and Odunze to start their sophomore seasons with a bang.
