Vikings vs Bears live stream: How to watch Monday Night Football online

It's time for the Vikings vs Bears live stream, which has  two teams on two very different trajectories. Minnesota is on a roll with two consecutive wins (following a quite dismal start to the season) including a blowout against the rival Detroit Lions last week. 

Minnesota is sporting more swagger than its 3-5 record would indicate. As for the 5-4 Bears, Chicago enters this NFL live stream coming off a three-game losing streak--albeit against some very tough competitors. The visiting Vikings are currently favored by just 3 points ahead of tonight's matchup.

Beyond recent fortunes, another distinguishing mark between these teams is the size of their scoring, with Minnesota racking up about an extra touchdown per game (27.1 vs 19.8 points). Fortunately for Chicago, the Bears are quite strong on defense; and they have a record of holding back the Vikings.

If Chicago prevails, it will likely be with one of the "ugly wins" the team is famous for--by using its defense to cripple the opponent while eking out just a few more points than its rival. That could happen, but with the Vikings' high-scoring tendencies and their newfound mojo, Minnesota's chances look a tad better than Chicago's.
