Bears vs Vikings: 3 Player Props and Best Bet for Sunday, November 16

Sunday, November 8 at 8:20 PM	Spread	Money	Total
Tampa Bay Buccaneers	+6.5 (-115)	+225	O 47.5 (-105)
Chicago Bears	-6.5 (-105)	-270	U 47.5 (-115)

The NFC North will take center stage on Sunday when the Chicago Bears (6-3) travel north to face the Minnesota Vikings (4-5) at 1 p.m.

Chicago has been on fire. The Bears started the season with two straight losses. Since then, Chicago has posted a four-game and a two-game winning streak, dropping only a 30-16 decision to Baltimore in its last seven outings.

Minnesota is heading in the opposite direction. The Vikings have lost three of their last four games, claiming only a mind-boggling victory over rival Detroit during the past month.

Chicago is currently tied with the Lions for first place in the NFC North. Can the Bears continue their surprising run against the Vikings on Sunday? We’ll cover that and provide bettors with our top three player props for this divisional matchup.

Player	Prop	Price
Caleb Williams	Over 243.5 Pass Yards	-114
Caleb Williams	Under 250.5 Pass Yards	-125

Chicago Bears QB Caleb Williams UNDER 222.5 Passing Yards

The Bears are seeing dividends from former top overall pick Caleb Williams in 2025. He’s completed just over 60 percent of his passes for 2,136 yards, 13 touchdowns, and four interceptions. He’s also rushed for 246 yards and three more scores this season.

In their first matchup against the Vikings, Williams finished with 210 yards and one touchdown while running for 58 yards. Those numbers reflect his averages, especially when Chicago’s opponent isn’t strong against the rush. That’s why bettors should take the under on Sunday, considering that Williams should be feeding his running backs throughout this contest.

Player	Prop	Price
Justin Jefferson	Over 77.5 Reception Yards	-111
Justin Jefferson	Under 78.5 Reception Yards	100

Minnesota Vikings WR Justin Jefferson UNDER 73.5 Receiving Yards

Justin Jefferson has been Jekyll and Hyde this year. When veteran Carson Wentz is under center, the wide receiver has notched 34 receptions for 477 yards and no scores. With J.J. McCarthy taking the snaps, Jefferson has only 17 receptions for 209 yards and two touchdowns.

Which version of the league’s top receiver will bettors see on Sunday? McCarthy will again be under center, suggesting the wide receiver will struggle against the Bears. That’s why individuals should take the under on this receiving prop bet.

Player	Prop	Price
J.J. McCarthy	Over 16.5 Rush Yards	-114
J.J. McCarthy	Under 16.5 Rush Yards	-108

Minnesota Vikings QB J.J. McCarthy OVER 21.5 Rushing Yards

After suffering an ankle injury earlier this season, Minnesota has McCarthy back under center. The 2024 first-rounder has struggled in three of his four contests thus far, completing just over 53 percent of his passes for 692 yards, five touchdowns, and six interceptions.

His last outing can give bettors hope, however. McCarthy notched 248 passing yards and 48 rushing yards on five carries, showing his ability to make plays on the ground. Chicago has struggled against mobile quarterbacks, yielding over 25 rushing yards to five different signal-callers.

McCarthy was one of those quarterbacks who rushed for at least 25 yards, doing so in his team’s season-opening upset of the Bears. Expect him to continue to make plays on the ground, and the second-year quarterback will cover his player prop on Sunday.

Best Bet: Chicago (+3)

The Vikings have been a frustrating team to watch this season. Minnesota posted a season-opening road win over the Bears before upsetting the Lions two weeks ago. In between, losses to the Los Angeles Chargers and Atlanta Falcons have been blowout defeats.

Minnesota is among the league’s worst at taking care of the football, owning a -7 differential in turnovers. The league’s best team in that category is the Bears, a team that currently possesses a +14 differential. Expect Chicago to force multiple turnovers and extract revenge on the Vikings this Sunday.
