The Vikings meet the Bears on Sunday in a game that will pretty much kill the postseason hopes of the losing team. The Vikings have arrived at the match-up after rallying from a 1-5 start to a 6-7 record. The Bears are 6-7 after starting the season 5-1. The Vikings lost to Tampa Bay last weekend. The Bears beat Houston.
So there's no good way to get a handle on what's going to happen Sunday at U.S. Bank Stadium.
