After an insane slate from this Sunday, we come to the NFC North clash between the Bears and the Vikings on Monday Night. Let’s take a look at the four best plays for this upcoming match.
Jordan Addison – Over 51.5 Receiving Yards
Addison is on pace for a near 1000 yard season, and when you’re lined up on the same line of scrimmage as Justin Jefferson, that’s a big accomplishment. He’s cleared this line in his last four games, including two 100+ games against Atlanta and…the Bears in their last meeting. Hopefully this is a good omen. The Bears are 16th in passing yards allowed this year, and I think the Vikings are going to be looking for a statement win with a tough schedule coming up ahead down the stretch. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Sam Darnold looking at Addison almost as much as Jefferson, especially considering he’s really taken a step up down the ladder half of this season.
Jordan Addison over 51.5 receiving yards is the first play of this NFC North rivalry.
Sam Darnold – Over 13.5 Rushing Yards
Speaking of players who have taken a jump this year, Sam Darnold needs to be the posterchild of that title. Seriously, he’s having his best season by far this year, and it’s been genuinely fun to watch him. All we need him to do is get a solid rollout look once or twice this game, and he’s already cleared this line in 7 out of 13 games. I think this is a generally safe bet, especially against a Bears defense who’s out Gervon Dexter on the line.
Sam Darnold over 13.5 rushing yards is the next play for the game between the Bears and Vikings.
Caleb Williams – Over 215.5 Passing Yards
Caleb’s season has been up and down to say the very least. However, one of his best games came in the very close overtime loss against the Vikings in their last meeting. Throwing 47 passes and completing 32 of them for 340 yards is definitely enough to clear this line, and honestly, I think the game plan will stay pretty similar to how it went when these teams met up a month ago. The Vikings are 29th in passing yards allowed this year, and dead last in passing attempts against. There’s definitely a reason the Bears let Caleb air it out last time, and I think he can put up similar numbers this week. He’s also cleared this line consistently against weaker defenses (Carolina, Indianapolis, Jacksonville), clearing 7 out of 13 times on the season.
Caleb Williams over 215.5 passing yards is the next play for the matchup between these two rivals.
D’Andre Swift – Under 59.5 Rushing Yards
In tandem with the last play, I think the fact that the Bears will be looking for yards through the air will hurt D’Andre Swift’s production this game. He already doesn’t really put up the best numbers, missing this line in 8 of his 13 games where he started as RB1, including the last game against the Vikings. He’s also already missed this in his last 3 games in a row, not even breaking 40 yards in any of those last three. I definitely don’t foresee Swift having his bounce-back game this week, especially against a Vikings defense who is 2nd in rushing yards allowed (behind only the Baltimore Ravens).
D’Andre Swift under 59.5 rushing yards is the last play for Monday Night.
