MINTY BETS: This Monday night we've got an NFC North match-up between the Vikings and the Bears. And we've got a special promo for you guys. Bet $1 to win $1 for every Vikings rushing yards. Now, I want to know guys, do we think the Vikings are going to have over or under 100 rushing yards Monday night?

- Oh, this is such an easy over. Vikings are third in the NFL in rushing yards right now, 160 per game. Dalvin Cook in fantasy is literally doing-- this is not an exaggeration. Like he's almost doing LaDainian Tomlinson peak 2006 type stuff right now at the pace that he's scoring touchdowns.

He's been unbelievable. I don't care that the Bears have a good defense. Like they're seventh in Football Outsiders [? DVOA ?] from a rushing efficiency perspective. Don't care. Don't care about any of that stuff right now. The Vikings rushing offense is just cooking right now at this point.

I think the Vikings should be favored to win this game. I realize they're not like a great team overall, but the Bears are on a total skid right now. They'll have no answers from an offensive perspective.

And the Vikings should be able to just possess the ball and establish to run with one of the best players in the NFL right now in Dalvin Cook. That's not even talking about-- maybe Kirk Cousins get some scrambles in, Alexander Madison, whatever. This is an easy over for me.

MINTY BETS: Wow. I'm convinced. Jared, are you convinced as well?

JARED QUAY: Absolutely not. Yes, the Vikings have been playing amazing in their run game the last couple of weeks. But look on the defenses they're playing. They killed Detroit's run defense. Green Bay's run defense, they had a good game against.

Seattle Seahawks having one of the worst defenses in history this year. They beat them. And Houston, Houston doesn't run good. The two times they played good run defenses, they played Indiana, who has a number one run defense.

Dalvin Cook had 60 yards. I just-- my thought process here is the Bears know you have to stop the run to beat the Vikings. So you're going to sell out for that. Maybe Kurt Cousins get a couple of touchdowns and Justin Jefferson.

So I got a good fantasy numbers. But I think if they want to be competitive in this game, you do not let Dalvin Cook run the ball. And that's why this is going to go under 100 yards.
