NFL Week 6 Sunday Night Football: Vikings @ Bears

Kickoff for this pro football betting action is slated for 8:20 PM ET on Sunday, October 14, 2011, from historic Soldier Field, on the shores of Lake Michigan, in Chicago, Illinois.

With the Detroit Lions and Green Bay Packers both out of the gate to a 5-0 start, it’s starting to look like the Bears and Vikings will need to win a Wild Card spot to play in the 2011 NFL Playoffs. Even that is easier said than done as they sit in 10th and 12th overall all in the NFC.

Minnesota finally got off the schnide as they built a lead, and defended it, while annihilating the Arizona Cardinals 34-10 in Week Five. Chicago QB Jay Cutler was under siege all night as the Lions brought constant pressure and topped the Bears 24-13 on Week 5 Monday Night Football.

SNF Week 6 Betting Lines: Bears vs. Vikings Free Pick

While the Yogi’s should be no better than 1-4, the Vikings would be 4-1 had they not blown huge leads in the first three weeks of the season. This contest features two of the best running backs in the NFL as Adrian Peterson and Matt Forte are shining stars on otherwise coal dark teams.

We are of the opinion that the Bears have been overrated frauds since all the way to Week One of the 2010 season. Meanwhile, the Vikings may have finally learned how to get and keep a lead. Get the ball to Adrian Peterson – early and often.

After unheralded sophomore RB Jahvid Best torched Chicago for 163 yards during MNF, Purple Jesus is licking his chops as he is set to face the Yogi’s defense. The Vikings and Bears will be tied for last in the NCF North following play on Sunday Night Football.
