No David Montgomery on the Chicago side and a healthy Dalvin Cook on the Minnesota side might be all you need to handicap in making the right Vikings Bears pick here on Monday Night.
With the Bears top RB out, the Vikings defense will have less to worry about, while the Bears might not be able to slow Cook even if they play great.

Why the Vikings can cover the spread
Reason No. 1 – Dalvin Cook.
Reason No. 2 – Kirk Cousins to Adam Thielen.
Minnesota offense can be explosive and they may be able to wear down the stalwart Bears D with a ground game. That and the fact Chicago’s offense continues to struggle, meaning the defense will be on the field far too often. That can translate to late scoring and ball control.
