Vikings will play at Soldier's Field against the Bears Sunday. There is a one win difference between these two teams. Both offenses are really lousy no matter who the quarterback is, but the Vikings have a much better run game with the duo of Chester and Peterson. And comparing stats per game, it looks like the Vikings have the better defense. Well, at least a little better.
Will the Bears be pumped up enough from their victory against their hated rivals the Packers and carry it through?
Or has the bye week given Minnesota what it needs to put it together???????

No, I think the Bears are starting to get it together bet. I see them winning this one in a close, defensive struggle, 6-3 or 9-6.

Vikings 34-31 on this game.
I didnt see the game but I checked on some of the game stats.
Jackson was 9/23 for 136 yards, 1td, NO interceptions
Griese was 26/45 got 381 yards, 3 Tds, and 2 interceptions

Bears had a few more net yards, more penalties for more yards, slightly less possession time, and 4 total turnovers.

The Vikings had 0 total turnovers.

Looks like the Vikings' bye week did them a bit of good.
