Prediction: Bears win 24-21

This is going to be a dogfight. The two teams appear evenly matched from every possible angle. Minnesota has experience on their side. Chicago has home field and what will likely be cold weather. It will come down to which offense is able to make fewer mistakes against two really good defenses. Cousins has been more efficient to this point but Mitch Trubisky might be the greater threat due to his running ability.

Each defense has a potential game-wrecker off the edge in Hunter and Khalil Mack. Which offense is better able to control them is critical. This game is simply hard to predict. It could go either way. One thing is for sure. All of Chicago will be a nervous wreck if this has to come down to a Cody Parkey kick at the end of the game. He has been practicing extra at Soldier Field though. Maybe it will help.
