Vikings vs. Bears Prediction

As we thought coming into the season, Bears games are going to be like the Coors Field of the NFL: A really porous defense paired with arguably the best offense in the league. Minnesota will put up more resistance on defense than Carolina, but Brian Flores' blitzing style is prone to allowing some big plays on the back end or in the run game when the pressure doesn't get home or coverage doesn't hold up.
