Monday betting preview
Vikings at Bears, Saturday, 8:15 p.m. ET
The Ben Johnson era begins in Chicago when the former Lions offensive coordinator makes his head coaching debut in an NFC North battle against the Vikings. Johnson isn't the only high-profile debut though, with Viking quarterback J.J. McCarthy making his first NFL start at quarterback. McCarthy, the No. 10 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft out of Michigan, missed all of last season with a knee injury. This matchup pits a pair of top-10 picks in the 2024 NFL Draft, with top pick Caleb Williams entering his second season.
The Vikings are 1.5-point favorites in the latest Bears vs. Vikings odds for NFL betting at Fanatics Sportsbook. The Vikings are -125 favorites on the money line, with the Bears at +105 underdogs, and the over/under is 43.5 points. Minnesota won both matchups last season, and the Vikings have won five straight in Chicago. Claim $100 in FanCash right here.
Monday Night Football player props, team props
A significant reason why the Bears targeted Johnson as their head coach was in pursuit of improved production from Williams, who threw for 3,541 yards last season, ranking 17th in the league. Johnson was one of the most creative offensive play callers in the NFL with Detroit, and the Bears hope he can bring that success to Chicago. Williams' passing yards over/under is set for 215.5 yards on Monday with D.J. Moore, the team's WR1, having an over/under of 55.5 receiving yards. D'Andre Swift, who played one season with the Lions with Johnson as the offensive coordinator, has a rushing over/under set at 50.5 yards at Fanatics Sportsbook. Swift averaged 56.4 rushing yards per game last season but just 38.7 rushing yards per game during his overlap with Johnson as Lions OC. Claim the latest Fanatics Sportsbook Game Day Guarantee here:
