Week 15 picks: Who the experts are taking in Bears vs. Vikings

The Chicago Bears will face the Minnesota Vikings on Monday Night Football, where Chicago is looking to avoid another three-game losing streak.

The Bears are coming off a brutal loss to the Green Bay Packers, where Chicago was outscored 24-3 in the second half. This week, the Bears are shorthanded due to COVID-19 and injuries, where it looks like they’ll be without players like left tackle Jason Peters, receiver Allen Robinson and safety Eddie Jackson.

There’s not a lot of confidence in Chicago to pull off an upset as 83% of experts are picking the Vikings to beat the Bears on Monday, according to NFL Pick Watch. Which isn’t really a surprise given Minnesota is competing for a playoff spot while Chicago’s season is all but over.

The Bears are currently 6.5-point home underdogs against the Vikings, according to Tipico Sportsbook, which makes sense considering the state of both teams at this point.

Can the Bears find a way to get back in the win column? Or will Minnesota take advantage of a shorthanded and struggling Chicago?

We’ll see Monday when the Bears and Vikings kick things off at 7:15 p.m. CT on ESPN.
