We’re capping off a week of holiday NFL action with Bears-Vikings Monday Night Football. We had a so-so week up until this point, but I’m pushing all the chips to the middle on this Bears-Vikings same game parlay. Let’s end Week 12 with a bang.
Bears-Vikings Same Game Parlay Bet | MNF Week 12
Justin Fields Over 9.5 Rushing Attempts (MNF Player Prop)
In his return from missing a few games, Justin Fields looked more than ready to pick up where he left off with his legs. The Bears quarterback ran 18 (this is me emphasizing 18) times against the Lions in Week 11.
If the pass wasn’t there, he wasn’t waiting to tuck and run — and that doesn’t even account for all of the DESIGNED runs.
The Bears have already announced that running back D’Onta Foreman is OUT for tonight’s game against the Vikings, and he’s been the lead back for them of late.
With Foreman off the field, it should lead to another steady dose of work for Fields on the ground, either by designed runs or scrambles. I’m hammering the OVER 9.5 rushing attempts.
Justin Fields Over 55.5 Rushing Yards (MNF Player Prop)
If I’m taking the over on Fields rushing attempts, you darn well better believe I’m getting some correlation with his rushing yards.
Do I think he will run it 18 times again? Eh, probably not, but to get 55.5 rushing yards, he doesn’t NEED that many attempts. In fact, he probably only needs a couple. He has the explosive play in his bag, as we have seen numerous times before.
But again, without Foreman, and the Vikings tendency to really dial up the blitz, it feels like a prime spot to get some synergy on the Fields rushing attempts and rushing yards.
DJ Moore 4+ Receptions (MNF Player Prop)
There have been only three games this season in which DJ Moore failed to reach four receptions. Tonight will NOT be one of them.
Moore is the main receiving option for this Bears team, and in Fields’ first game back under center, he gave Moore nine targets in that loss to the Lions.
The Bears offense is much like the Jordan-Pippen Bulls — it only flows through two guys. Let’s take advantage of the two players we know are going to get the most opportunities.
DJ Moore 50+ Receiving Yards (MNF Player Prop)
Again, we’re firing up some correlation. We’re taking an alternate receiving yards number here for Moore and lowering it down to 50-plus yards.
Moore has eclipsed 50 yards in seven of his last eight games, so this should be a cinch against the Vikings defense that is giving up over 170 yards to opposing wide receivers.
Over 1.5 Field Goals Made (MNF Game Prop)
While we might not see a ton of touchdowns in this game, we should see some drives stall out in the red zone with Justin Fields and Joshua Dobbs as the quarterbacks.
This is one of my favorite bets to throw in when we don’t have extremely efficient offenses, and I generally like to do them on primetime games where it seems points are always at a premium.
Take the over on 1.5 field goals, and let’s cash this +520 ticket in the first half.
