The Bears on the other hand have spit their games at Soldier Field this year going
2-2 and will look to take a share of first place in the NFC North and build upon a 22-19 road win last week vs the Buffalo Bills. Chicago won by 3-points on the road vs the Bills and pushed on the spread as 3-point favorites in NFL odds to go 3-4-1 ATS for the season. Although the Bears have gone 8-1 for their past nine match-ups with the Vikings, head coach Lovie Smith isn't taking anything for granted and can't stress enough how important Sunday's game for his squad. "I like our position," Smith said this week heading into NFL predictions for week 10 as home underdogs. "We're not sitting in first place right now, but to me (that's) because we've played one less game than the team that's up top right now. We want to matter, and right now, I think you can say the Bears matter."
