It’s really hard to like the Bears these days.  They have completely self-destructed.  And this week they host a very scrappy Minnesota team attempting to discover their identity with a new “franchise” quarterback who displayed his grit in a close win at home against the Redskins their last time out.  This game is guaranteed to be cold and windy.  Not great conditions for the passing or kicking game.  I expect to see see plenty of turnovers in this one.  The Vikings defense has showed some potential, but they have yet to really shut down the run this season.  If I was the Bears OC, I would feed the rock to Forte in excess, especially with how Cutler has looked recently.  The Vikings have been much better against the pass this year.  The Bears will need Forte to shine this week.

Chicago got completely whomped against the Packers last Sunday night, and a loss like that can cause turmoil, disruption, and confidence issues in the locker-room.  Cutler has displayed absolutely no confidence and now faces an extremely tough pass defense, allowing an average of about 214 passing yards per game.  The Bears really need Cutler to step up in order for them to win.  They have some excellent passing weapons in Marshall, Jeffries, Bennet, and Forte, but it all comes down to whether or not Cutler can get the ball in their hands enough to win.  So far, they’ve really struggled to do just that.  Despite how suspect Chicago has been on defense, I don’t see too many points in this one.  I do see a ton of turnovers, which usually results in points that can always disrupt the over/under, but this has ugly game written all o
