Daniel Bartel-Imagn Images

A Monday night doubleheader kicks off with the Chicago Bears traveling to Minnesota to take on the Vikings.

The Bears have been officially eliminated from playoff contention and are looking to finish 2024 on a high note with some momentum towards next year. As for the Vikings, they are trying to stay within striking distance of the No. 1 seed in the NFC as they trail the Detroit Lions by just one game.

Both Chicago and Minnesota have plenty of playmakers, making for some intriguing prop bets. Here are our best ones for tonight's game.

*Odds subject to change

Vikings WR Justin Jefferson ANYTIME touchdown (EVEN) - bet365

It's been another stellar season for Jefferson, ranking second in the NFL in receiving yards with 1,170. He scored two touchdowns against the Atlanta Falcons last week and has seven on the season.

Last week the Bears surrendered two touchdown catches to San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Juan Jennings, and gave up 325 receiving yards across the board. Jefferson should get multiple chances at finding the endzone in this game.

Bears WR D.J. Moore OVER 5.5 receptions (+102) - FanDuel

Moore is the safety net for quarterback Caleb Williams. Over his last four games, Moore has caught at least six passes and he comfortably leads all Bears wide receivers in targets and receptions.

This week he faces a Vikings defense that ranks 29th against the pass. There should be plenty of targets for Moore in this matchup as the Bears will need to keep up with the high-powered Vikings' offense. 

Vikings RB Aaron Jones OVER 63.5 rushing yards (-110) - BetMGM

Jones is quietly having a solid season, ranking 10th in the NFL in rushing yards with 893. He has eclipsed 63 rushing yards eight times this year, including in two of his last three games.

When he faced the Bears three weeks ago he ran for 106 yards on 22 carries. Chicago ranks 26th in the league in run defense, surrendering an average of 135 yards per game. 

Bears QB Caleb Williams OVER 1.5 passing touchdowns (+182) - FanDuel

Williams has found his groove over the past three weeks. He's thrown multiple touchdown passes in each game during that stretch, seven in total. Williams is seeing the field well and hasn't thrown an interception since Week 6.

He has a tremendous trio of wide receivers to work with in Moore, Keenan Allen and Rome Odunze. As mentioned above, the Vikings have a subpar pass defense, so there should be plenty of opportunities for Williams to stay hot.
