ANALYST PREDICTION WINNER
Carmen
DeFalco
(8-2)
 BEARS 31, VIKINGS 21
Bears give thanks for a couple new starters on the O-line and get back on track.
 
Jeff
Dickerson
(7-3)
 BEARS 21, VIKINGS 20
It's a must-win for the Bears and the team will treat is as such. If not, the walls could come crashing down.
 
Jon
Greenberg
(7-3)
 BEARS 20, VIKINGS 13
Bears defense rebounds by limiting Adrian Peterson to 70 yards or less, and the return of the "Jay Cutler Show" (i.e., throwing the ball to Brandon Marshall 17 times) makes up for Jared Allen's sack rodeo.
 
Melissa
Isaacson
(8-2)
 VIKINGS 24, BEARS 14
Just don't see the Bears snapping back so quickly against another team capable of getting to the quarterback and running the ball.
 
Scoop
Jackson
(6-4)
 VIKINGS 21, BEARS 20
The Bears have lost this season but have yet to have their hearts broken. This will be the game that both defines and changes their entire season.
 
John
Jurkovic
(8-2)
 BEARS 21, VIKINGS 7
Bears win a tight one.
 
Scott
Powers
(7-3)
 BEARS 24, VIKINGS 17
Cutler returns and so does winning.
 
Marc
Silverman
(9-1)
 BEARS 20, VIKINGS 17
If anyone says they know what's going to happen on Sunday, they're lying.
 
Sarah
Spain
(7-3)
 VIKINGS 23, BEARS 20
The Bears defense struggles to contain AP.
 
Harry
Teinowitz
(7-3)
 BEARS 26, VIKINGS 16
Robbie Gould 4, Blair Walsh 3
 
Tom
Waddle
(8-2)
 BEARS 23, VIKINGS 20
Bears bounce back in front of the home crowd. Vikings are improved but not the challenge the Bears faced Monday night.
 
Michael
Wilbon
(7-3)
 BEARS 20, VIKINGS 17
The Bears are just a one-point pick in my confidence pool, but I think they'll pull out a win over the Vikings.
 
Michael
Wright
(9-1)
 BEARS 23, VIKINGS 21
Bears have won 10 of their last 11 against the Vikings at Soldier Field.
 
Madden 13
(8-2)
 BEARS 27 , VIKINGS 21
The Bears' offense struggled all night against the 49ers, but against the Vikings, it's a different story, as Chicago scores the first 17 points.
