What seems like a game that probably shouldn't matter...does to one team, that being the Minnesota Vikings.
The Vikings enter this Week 17 game as a -13 home favorite against a Bears team that has nothing more to play for than its pride.
Minnesota, on the other hand, will be hoping to secure a first round bye. They can do so with an outright win against Chicago Sunday or a loss by Carolina in Atlanta.
The Bears have won their last three games and look to potentially play spoilers here. Seasons total wins odds futures will also be on the line here as the number had been set at 5.5 early on.
For a little perspective, half of the last ten games in this series were won by four or fewer points. Chicago has won three of ten outright, including a 10-point victory. That said, the Vikings have beaten the Bears by more than the current spread the last two meetings in Minnesota.
