The Chicago Bears (1–6) will be playing in primetime for the second week in a row with a different quarterback under center when they host the Minnesota Vikings (5–1) Monday night as six-point home underdogs at sportsbooks monitored by OddsShark.com.
The Bears fell to the Green Bay Packers 26–10 in the Week 7 Thursday night matchup and also lost quarterback Brian Hoyer to a broken arm, with reserve Matt Barkley passing for just 81 yards with two interceptions in relief.
Jay Cutler, who has been out since Week 7 with a thumb injury, has been cleared to play against Minnesota, keeping Barkley on the bench.
