Best NFL Week 12 Same Game Parlays: Vikings vs. Bears
(Odds via DraftKings Sportsbook unless noted otherwise)
Vikings vs. Bears
- Leg 1: Bears +3.5 (-115)
- Leg 2: Caleb Williams Over 20.5 Passing Completions (-115)
- Leg 3: DJ Moore 50+ Receiving Yards (-110)
- Leg 4: DJ Moore Over 4.5 Receptions (-130)
The Vikings are on a three-game win streak and now boast an 8-2 record. Meanwhile, the Bears have lost four straight after a promising start to the season. A blocked field goal at the end of regulation cost them the win last week against the Packers.
Though it's tough for a team to regroup after losing in that fashion - and take on another division rival, no less - let's bank on Chicago giving Minnesota a game this week. With the offensive coordinator change, the Bears offense showed some encouraging signs last week. The game plan called for more quick and easy throws to keep Caleb Williams comfortable under center. Williams was also given more freedom to run and make plays with his legs.
Chicago scored just 19 points but it also put up 391 total yards while outgaining Green Bay. The offense also went 12-for-19 on third- and fourth-down. The Bears scored on four of its first six offensive possessions before that missed field goal to end the game. We can have more confidence in an offense that's trending up.
The Bears have a top-10 pass defense, allowing 197.4 pass yards per game (ninth in the NFL) and an 80.2 passer rating (seventh). The secondary also has more interceptions (nine) than passing touchdowns allowed (seven) this year. It's a tough matchup for the Vikings' passing attack and Sam Darnold has regressed over the past month following a hot start. The way to beat the Bears defense is on the ground but the Minnesota run game has been lacking lately.
This is a prime sell-high and buy-low spot on Minnesota and Chicago, respectively. Five of the Vikings' eight wins this season have come by one score. Meanwhile, the Bears have lost four games by one score. The Bears are also 5-1 ATS and 4-2 straight up (SU) at home compared to 0-3-1 ATS and 0-4 SU on the road.
Minnesota's defense is allowing league-low 74.4 rush yards per game, which should force the Bears to throw more if they can't get anything going on the ground. The Vikings are also giving up the fifth-most passing yards per game. With that in mind, let's target a pair of props in the Chicago passing attack.
DJ Moore is coming off his best game in over a month with seven catches for 62 yards last week. The emphasis on Williams making quick, easy throws to his receivers made Moore a clear beneficiary. He should be plenty involved once again. Williams was 23-of-41 (74.2%) through the air last week. He has at least 20 completions in six of his last nine games and the new offensive gameplan should lead to a higher completion rate moving forward. The Vikings are giving up 23.2 completions per game to opposing quarterbacks.
