1. The #Bears offense is bad. We know this. Still, so is the Vikings defense.
Their secondary is gutted at corner and they have no pass rush.
If the O-line, who is getting some help back tonight, can protect Nick Foles he'll be hitting open guys.

2. Beating the Vikings this year has resulted when opponents force them into turnovers.
They have 12 turnovers in their five losses.
No turnovers in their three wins.
The #Bears defense has been painfully close to several takeaways the past few weeks. They're due.

3. Part of why Minnesota has avoided turnovers lately is Dalvin Cook. His ability to dominate on the ground has allowed Kirk Cousins to take fewer chances in the passing game.
The Vikings are winless when he's held under 100 yards on the ground.
The #Bears D needs a big night.

4. The Vikings defense has allowed over 400 yards of total offense in the past three games.
They've survived that stretch through takeaways with five.
It's asking a lot but even the #Bears offense can have a decent night as long as they protect the football.

5. Winds are expected tonight between 10-20 mph.
It would probably be a wise decision by the #Bears not to leave the game on the foot of Cairo Santos, even if he's playing really well.
They have to score touchdowns.
