The Bears are 9-4 1st in the NFC North while the Vikings are 5-8 and 3rd in the black and blue division. The game was meant to be played in the warm confines of the Metro Dome but due to the roof collapse has been moved outside to the University of Minnesota’s outdoor stadium and the temperature is forecasted to be about zero. It’s a pleasant change from the constant chatter about Brett Favre, and now with he and Tarvaris Jackson injured its either Patrick Ramsey they just picked up or rookie Joe Webb a 6th round draft choice from UAB. “Joe Webb had a good day today,” interim coach Leslie Frazier said Saturday. “He really seems as if this whole thing is not too big for him, and I’m really looking forward to watching him on Monday night.” The odds makers at SBG Global have the Chicago Bears -8 point favorites on the road against the Minnesota Vikings.
