Bears And Vikings will face off in an NFC North battle in Week 11, their final meeting of the regular season after Minnesota beat Chicago 27-24 in Week 1. The host Vikings are 4–5 and in last place in the division, while the Bears are 6–3 and have the same record as Detroit Lions at the top of the division. Green Bay Packers We are in third place with a score of 5-3-1.
The Bears are in playoff contention right now, but are they really? They're retreating from two weeks of winning comebacks they won. Cincinnati Bengals47-42, and then achieved a stunning victory over New York Giants last week. Their schedule was easier, they beat teams like New Orleans Saints (2-8), Las Vegas Raiders (2-7) and Washington commanders (2-8), so the question remains how good they are.

The Vikings may not be the real test, but they are in season-saving mode, so they should have extra motivation since a loss would likely end any realistic path to the playoffs. Minnesota loses the team 27-19. Baltimore Ravens and beat the Lions 27-24 a week earlier. Is it just me, or does the Vikings' 14-3 record a season ago seem like a distant memory?

Bears vs Vikings: you need to know
- McCarthy was hit. Former No. 10 overall pick JJ McCarthy has been limited to four games this season by an injury that has already blighted his young career. In those starts, he is 2-2 with a 53.7 completion percentage, five touchdowns and six interceptions. McCarthy has been limited in practice and will have a brace on his hand as he recovers from a helmet hit last week, coach Kevin O'Connell said.
- Williams is gaining momentum. Over the past few weeks, Caleb Williams has impressed with his situational awareness in the game. He avoided pressure and not only dodged sacks, but made something out of seemingly bad plays. He hasn't thrown a pick the last two weeks and has 2,136 yards with 13 touchdowns and just four interceptions this season. The former No. 1 overall pick has already surpassed his rookie season win total. He also has 246 yards on 48 attempts and three finds in the end zone.
- Where's the robbery?: Minnesota's defense has scored 24+ points in four straight games and hasn't taken much away from the opposing quarterback, with just three interceptions on the year. The Vikings' offense and special teams have struggled with turnovers lately, which hasn't put the defense on the path to success. Although it must be said that the unit does a good job against the pass, allowing just 1,888 yards, which ranks seventh best in the league.
Bears vs. Vikings Prediction, Pick
I think the Bears will avenge their season-opening loss with a road win and continue their modest two-game winning streak. Pick: Bears +3, Over 48.5.
