The Chicago Bears will face the Minnesota Vikings in Week 2 of the 2026 NFL season, where they're looking to claim sole possession of first place in the NFC North.
The Bears are coming off an historic 59-37 win over the Carolina Panthers in their season opener, where quarterback Caleb Williams and the offense exploded for eight touchdowns and 552 yards in what was a near-flawless performance. Chicago totaled 291 rushing yards behind D'Andre Swift, Kyle Monangai and Williams, and there's plenty to be excited for on offense. Unfortunately, there's still plenty to clean up for this Bears defense that gave up 37 points, 478 yards and struggled to contain Bryce Young. Now, they'll look to make it two wins in a row in a key NFC North matchup against
the Vikings.
Chicago is a 4.5-point home favorite heading into Sunday's matchup against Minnesota, according to BetMGM. The over/under is set at 47.5.
