Vikings VS Bears Predictions

[9man]

The vikes had time to prepare for this one, they win 13-10.

[Fran the Man]

I just can't see the Vikings winning this one. This game is as close to a must-win game as there is and the Vikings usually don't win these types of games.

My crystal ball says the Vikings fall behind early from turnovers by AD and Ponder. Peterson will not be much of a factor in this one. Bright side is Ponder throws for 300yds.

Bears in a route, 41-17.

I hope they prove me wrong.

I'm going with just the opposite of what you say. (Except the "Route" part)
Vikings 28
Bears 24

My "I hate the Bears like no other team prediction" ...

Vikings 48
Bears 0

My realistic prediction

Vikings 27
Bears 13

The Bears' offense is putrid, even with Cutler. If they score a TD, it will be on defense.

Who's starting at QB for the Vikes? "Good Ponder" or "Bad Ponder"? Reminds me of "Good Rex/Bad Rex" when Grossman was playing.

Sort of like which Eli Manning will show up against the Packers. The 2 time Super Bowl MVP or the QB who threw for a 41% passer rating in his last game and is rated 22 in passer rating with the same number of tds as Ponder with 3 more ints.
In fact look at these passer ratings you might be shocked where some of the qbs are rated. http://espn.go.com/nfl/statistics/playe ... backRating

watching ponder against the bears defense will be comical

[Just Me]

I swear I don't know who I can't stand more. Their cockeyed coach or pretty boy who always has this smirk on his face I want to slap

I DISAGREE with you! Rodgers is not all that pretty....

You are a Viking fan and you want to see Ponder look bad and that will be comical to you Man there seems to be a lot of poser trollers running around looking for every opprotunity to defame not only the quarterback but the whole team and organization.

i am a viking fan, but as i've said before, if we had a real qb we would be 8-2 or 7-1. that long pass play to wright was the only deep throw this year that actually looked good. ponder simply cannot get the ball down field, anyone would have high completion numbers when you average 5 yards a throw.

I am not sure why I waste my time with "fans" like you but if you knew much about west coast offenses they are not predicated on long passes. Ponder does not need to throw a lot of deep passes, thank god because his protection usualy breaks down within 2 seconds. Plus there is no one on this team (maybe Harvin) who can seperate from defenders in the time allowed.
Your premise that any other good QB would have this team at 8 victories is laughable, the Vikes defense has been responsible for at least half of the lossess and probably an equal number of wins. Check out the stats.

Vikes 35 - Bears 27

Peterson 215 yards rushing and 2 TD's

First place NFC north since the Packers lose to NY!

[NextQuestion]

I remember when Bears got smoked the week before we played them last year for the first time. We had all these predictions we'd kill them and on Cutler's first pass he bombs it to Hester for a TD. It was over there.

I see us getting killed.

30-13

I'd like to believe that the Vikings are set up to win this one. Coming off of the bye & well rested, facing a team on a short week who might be without their starting QB and whose defense was just dismantled by a QB who is somewhat similar to our own. Unfortunately that probably won't happen. Cutler will probably play and the Bears D is too good to allow Ponder to exploit the same weakness that Kaepernick did. Plus the game is in Chicago, and I don't think we've played well there lately.

I think the Vikes will win two or three of these remaining six games and finish 8-8 or better, but this isn't gonna be one of those wins. That Bears D is very good and they're going to be angry and focused after getting embarrassed on Monday night. It probably won't matter if Cutler starts or not, their D will be the story of this game and it's gonna be an ugly night for the Vikes offense

Bears 20
Vikings 6

I hate the reasoning that the TEAM IS MAD AS HELL AND NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANY MORE!!! and will play well after a loss.

I'd love to see the facts that back it up. Something tells me they aren't there. Losses seem to come in bunches.
