The Sun-Times’ experts offer their picks for the Bears’ game Monday night at the Vikings (7 p.m., ABC 7):
Rick Morrissey
Vikings, 31-17: This season can’t end soon enough for the Bears, who, unfortunately for everyone involved, have four games left. This one figures to end like the past seven — with a loss. The only question is how bad it will be. Season: 10-3.
Rick Telander
Vikings, 30-19: I’ve forgotten what a game looks like in which the Bears win. I know they have. Let the Gjallarhorn blast forth, eh. Season: 7-6.
Scoop Jackson
Vikings, 40-14: Just when we thought it couldn’t get any worse … it won’t. It just officially is not going to be any better anytime soon. Game 8 of their 11 game “L” streak is here. Another stain on the Astroturf. Another chalked outline. Season: 7-6.
Patrick Finley
Vikings, 26-14: U.S. Bank Stadium is a lovely place to watch another blowout. Speaking of which: didn’t Kevin Warren vow to build one of those here? Season: 11-2.
Jason Lieser
Vikings, 33-23: There’s a very good chance the Bears have already gotten their last win of the season — and it was Oct. 13 in London. The Vikings, by the way, have the sixth-best record in the NFL over the past decade. Season: 9-4.
Mark Potash
Vikings, 27-13: The Vikings are a vulnerable 11-2. The Bears took the Vikings to OT at Soldier Field three weeks ago. Bears are motivated to atone for a flat performance in Thomas Brown’s debut. And Caleb Williams! Fool me six times … Season: 8-5.
