The Minnesota Vikings are atop the NFC North and are looking to stay there against the Chicago Bears. After a big win in London, they get to face one of the worst offenses in the league. There’s a lot of playmakers in this game– particularly on the Minnesota side – and it’s time to handicap the best prop bets in the divisional matchup. 

Best Prop Bets For Bears vs. Vikings Week 5

  • Dalvin Cook OVER 78.5 Rushing Yards
  • Darnell Mooney UNDER 48.5 Receiving Yards
  • Justin Jefferson OVER 83.5 Receiving Yards

Dalvin Cook OVER 78.5 Rushing Yards

Cook hasn’t lived up to his lofty expectations yet, but he’s cleared this line in two games and missed this number by three yards last week. Cook, even with a banged up shoulder, still saw 20 carries against the Saints last week so the volume will is still there. He also draws a favorable matchup against the Bears’ defense that is 30th in the league in opponent yards per rush and 32nd in rushing yards per game. Chicago's defense hasn’t held up thus far and won’t hold up this week.

Darnell Mooney UNDER 42.5 Receiving Yards

Darnell Mooney cleared this line for the first time last week, but don’t expect that to happen again.

The Bears have the worst passing offense in the league, throwing the fewest passes in the league and completing the fewest percentage of passes in the league. Mooney should be happy he got a chance to run routes last week, because the Bears’ passing offense is not to be trusted. 

Justin Jefferson OVER 83.5 Receiving Yards

After two subpar weeks of play, Jefferson jump-started his season again in London. He’s going to see double digit targets in nearly every game this season as he is one of the favorites for Offensive Player of the Year. Jefferson looks like his normal self again, so I’ll back him to put on a show against a lowly opponent who can't hold up in the secondary.
