Analysis

#461 CHICAGO (+) over Minnesota at 1 PM EST Locked into a triple revenge mode and playing with confidence off back-to-back straight up wins over the Giants and Bengals, the Bears will stroll right into the Twin Cities and pull off the upset over the Vikings. Minnesota enters this division battle off a SU and ATS home loss to Baltimore and this will be another difficult spot for head coach Kevin O'Connell and his crew. As an underdog in this series, the Monsters of the Midway have performed well, inking an elite 33-22-2 ATS record including a lucrative 23-11-1 ATS provided they are fighting in a payback mode. Equally impressive, division road dogs that are playing with same season revenge own a profitable 39-25-1 ATS mark provided they own a team won/loss percentage of .501 or higher and their opponent arrives off a SU and ATS loss. If our "play on" side is competing against a team that faced a non-division foe last, this angle improves to a rewarding 24-11-1 ATS. This is a terrible spot for the Purple People Eaters. When going into same season revenge, Minnesota has struggled inking a weak 36-51-2 ATS record including a woeful 12-28-1 ATS provided it is facing a foe that enters off a pointspread loss. In this situation tackling an opponent that owns a team won/loss percentage of .400 or higher, the Vikings fall to a miserable 1-15 ATS including a shocking 0-15 ATS provided they are priced as an underdog or a short favorite of -8.5 or less. The Bears found a way to storm back and pick up a straight up win in their last two games and they will ride that wave of momentum to a huge upset victory here. Take Chicago. Thanks and best of luck, Tom.
