The Chicago Bears host the Minnesota Vikings on Monday Night Football. If you expect to watch a high scoring shootout on prime time I think you're in for a disappointing evening as I predict a low scoring defensive battle between the two NFC North rivals.
Minnesota is coming off its first loss of the season, a 21-10 setback at Philadelphia. It's pretty remarkable that a team ranked No. 31 in total offense with 299.2 yards per game has a 5-1 record, but with a D like the Vikings' that allows only 14 points per game they don't need to score all that many points to win. Here they'll come up against a Bears team that is a respectable No. 12 in total defense with 350.4 yards allowed per game, but the team ranks dead last for points per game scored.
The Vikings won't overlook the Bears as last week's defeat should serve as a wake up call that no win comes easy. Four of the last five head-to-head meetings have gone under the total and I think both teams will struggle to move the chains tonight, leading to another low scoring contest.
