The Chicago Bears looked improved on the offense side of the ball against the Redskins as Mitchell Trubisky broke his early season slump with 3 TD passes. The reason the Bears should win this is because of their top-notch defense, and the struggles of Kirk Cousins. The Vikings have tried to take the ball out of Cousins hands and run it with Dalvin Cook, but that won’t fly against a defense who is stacked at every level. The Bears will give Cousins and the Vikings different looks and force their offense into a few mistakes which they should capitalize on at home. Final Score Prediction, Chicago Bears win and cover ATS 20-14.
