Analysis

The money has been on the Over as it opened 1.5 @ -174 before it was bet up to 1.5 @ -163.

Key Factors

Favors Over

The Vikings may take to the air less this week (and call more carries) because they be starting backup QB Carson Wentz.
At a -4.5-point disadvantage, the Vikings are underdogs in this game, suggesting more of a focus on throwing than their normal game plan.
The predictive model expects this game to have the most plays run on the slate this week at 132.8 plays, accounting for the play styles of each team and game dynamics.
The Chicago Bears pass defense has given up the 4th-highest Adjusted Completion% in the NFL (67.6%) vs. wide receivers since the start of last season (67.6%).
The Chicago cornerbacks rank as the 6th-best collection of CBs in the league last year in covering pass-catchers.

Favors Under

The Vikings have been the 10th-least pass-focused offense in football (in a neutral context) this year with a 51.7% pass rate.
The Minnesota Vikings have called the 2nd-fewest plays in the NFL since the start of last season, totaling just 51.7 plays per game.
Minnesota's passing stats since the start of last season may be artificially propped up a bit (and running stats reduced) considering playing the 3rd-most "low wind" (4-mph or less) games in the NFL. We should be able to count on some correction with windier weather in this game.
Windy weather conditions (like the 15-mph being called for in this game) typically mean lessened passing effectiveness, lower pass volume, and increased run volume.
While Jauan Jennings has accounted for 18.7% of his offense's targets in games he has played since the start of last season, the predictive model expects him to be much less involved in Minnesota's passing attack in this week's contest at 10.8%.
