It’s not too much of a surprise that no experts are picking the Chicago Bears to beat the Minnesota Vikings. However, that doesn’t mean that Chicago doesn’t have some good pieces in place. This means the Vikings will likely not be resting any starters unless they are injured since a first-round bye and the #2 seed are on the line in Week 17.
