First and foremost the Bears are not that good of team. Forte is a decent back, Marshall can be a force if someone gets him the ball, their o-line might be the worst in football. Cutler, when playing is a head case but has his moments of near greatness. Their D is pretty solid but play better when protecting a lead.
All that being said the Bears have only beaten one team with a winning record all year and that is the Colts. Like I said, if Cutler is healthy and playing I would give them the edge but if Campbell plays like he did against the Niners then the Vikes have a good chance of winning. Keep in mind that last year in one game Allen had 3 and 1 half sacks against them. Maybe he will snap out of his funk and start playing like he is capable and get some pressure this week and make some plays.

Bears or Vikings? Ummmm. If Cutler plays, I would say Bears 70/30. If good Ponder shows up, I would say Vikings 60/40. This is one game that I feel will be decided by the QB's. So for now, I will have to go with the Bears. 23-21.
Vikings fan since Nov. 6, 1966. Annoying Packer fans since Nov. 7, 1966
If Cutler plays the Bears will win a close game, by about 6. Even with Cutler they have trouble scoring points. Without Cutler you probably win as long as our defense does not score.
Without Cutler it'll be up to the Bears defense to carry them... unless McCown goes super saiyan against the Vikings. With Cutler it'll become a battle of which QB can derp around less... and I'd give the edge to Cutler in that battle.

If you know your history AD runs all over the Bears and Allen usually plays quite well against their crappy o-line.
If their back-up qb Campbell plays like he did against the Niners then the Vikes could very well win this one.
From most of your posts, you seem to be one of those half empty guys but a victory here might change your mind (just a little) if the Vikes win and go to 7-4

I don't think the Bears are legit. Only 1 win over a team with a winning record and they got smashed by a team that we beat 24-10.
Any time they play a team with a good front 4 their offense is BOOTY. I mean, just awful. I speak specifically to their collective 26 points of performance against the Packers, Lions, Texans and 49ers.
This will be a game that the Vikings WIN. Mark it down. 28-17, Vikings.
anyways, I dont think the 49ers did us any favors by exposing the bears on national television, i think they are going to be hungry at home against us... but I also think that the vikings are capable of winning any of the games left on the schedule...
The Vikings have been above .500 on the road just 3 times in the past 18 years and only once in the past 16 years. What was the other statistic I heard, they are 1-9 their last 10 games in Chicago?

What does the last 16 or 18 years have to do with anything? Half of this team was in grade school Anything to be negative I guess

You aren't smart enough to realize that whatever a team did a decade or more ago means nothing about the present team and when you bring that type of fact up it IS meant to be negative

So many debbie downers. Vikes destroy whoever the QB is Robison, Allen and The always efficent Everson Griffen will kill the Qb and all record sacks Ponder shows up to play and
Our vikes win
Anything to be negative I guess
