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

Minnesota is as feisty as one would expect from a 3-5 record; as for the 5-4 Bears, Chicago enters this NFL Live stream off three straight losses - albeit against some very tough rivals. In this game, Chicago has lost three straight.

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 have a fairly strong defense and have a track record of holding off the Vikings.

If Chicago wins, it will probably be one of those "ugly wins" that this team excels at. It could happen, but with the Vikings' high-scoring tendencies and newfound mojo, Minnesota's chances look a little better than Chicago's.
