The have flip-flopped wins\/losses through each week thus far, which in theory would give them the victory here in Week 5 (and a loss in the next). In theory.<\/p>\n<p data-reactid=\"160\">Let&#8217;s look at last week.<\/p>\n<p data-reactid=\"161\">Minnesota was beating the Lions by a score of 7-3 at halftime, but gave up 11 points to Detroit in the opening of the third quarter, where they lost fumbles on back-to-back possessions. They followed that up with a missed\u00a0field goal and lost out on another opportunity that had them cozy on the Lions&#8217; 3-yard line. The Vikings would then lose a third fumble (picture Mike\u00a0Zimmer face palming) after a completion inside Detroit territory with just under two minutes left in the game.<\/p>\n<p data-reactid=\"161\">Positive takeaways (yes, there were some) included the fact that they\u00a0outgained Detroit 294-251, while their defense recorded five sacks, limiting the Lions to just one TD.<\/p>\n<h3>Betting on the Chicago Bears 1-3 (+3.5)<\/h3>\n<p data-reactid=\"170\">The Bears&#8217; one shining light came from an overtime upset (7-point underdog) against the Steelers in Week 3, but were back to poor form in Week 4 as they dropped another game to Green Bay with a 35-14 loss. On a positive note,\u00a0The Bears outgained the Packers by a total of 308-260, holding a 32-28 advantage in the time of possession. But turnovers were the turning point, directly resulting in 21 points for the opponent.<\/p>\n<p data-reactid=\"170\">Rookie\u00a0Mitchell Trubisky will be throwing, and <a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/sportsbook\/football\/nfl-week-5-player-prop-specials\">week 5 props<\/a> look to running back Jordan Howard to record a touchdown tonight. Will either make a difference?<\/p>\n<h3 data-reactid=\"170\"><strong>Writer&#8217;s Prediction<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Believe it or not, the Bears are going to claw their way to a victory here. Minnesota is without rookie running back Dalvin Cook (knee injury) while Chicago is 2-0 against-the-spread this year as an underdog at home.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/signup\">Click Here to Register to Bet<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/sportsbook\/football\/nfl\">Already a Member?
