The NFL opened Week 12 with a battle between NFC North rivals Detroit Lions (-4)
and Green Bay Packers (+6.5), and they close out the week with a “Monday Night Football” matchup between the other two NFC North teams: the Chicago Bears (+3) and Minnesota Vikings (-3).
The Bears and Vikings have met 125 times in their franchises’ histories, with Minnesota holding a 66-56-2 regular season edge, including winning their past five battles. The one time these two teams met in the playoffs, back in 1995, it was Chicago that came out on top.
