Bears vs Vikings Week 15 Picks

The first of a Monday Night Football Week 15 double-header, Bears vs Vikings is a key NFC matchup. Chicago has lost seven straight games, in embarassing and humiliating fashion. The Bears have lost on a hail mary, a blocked field goal, and have seen time expire after brutal end of game clock management during their losing streak.
Matt Eberflus was fired after their Week 13 loss to Detroit, but the Bears showed little improvement in their 38-13 defeat in San Francisco last week.
On the flip side, the Minnesota Vikings displayed their strengths in a 42-21 demolition of the Falcons last Sunday. Brian Flores' defense forced three turnovers, Sam Darnold threw five touchdowns and the Vikings rolled.
Minnesota ranks in the top-10 in both offensive points, yards, and touchdowns and defensive points, yards, and touchdowns allowed. Crucially, the Vikings are fourth in sacks (40), and pass-rush win rate (45%) this season. Edge rusher Jonathan Greenard leads the league with 60 QB pressures.
The football world saw the Vikings pass rush in full flow last week, forcing Kirk Cousins into a multitude of mistakes. Unfortunately for Bears fans, Caleb Williams has struggled under pressure in his rookie campaign. His 31.6% pressure to sack rate is the worst among all qualified passers. Moreover, the USC products' completion rate, and yards per attempt plummet under pressure.
Expect to see Brian Flores blitz Williams every chance he gets and collapse the pocket. I like the Vikings to win big.
