What the head-to-head says

Minnesota Vikings have the upper hand against Chicago Bears so far this season at 1-0 through 1 meeting. The splits table above shows the bet and money percentages at the latest pre-game snapshot for each meeting, alongside the final score from Chicago Bears' perspective.

For matchup pages, the bet- and money-percent columns are projected onto Chicago Bears' side — so the same column means "the market's Chicago Bears lean at the snapshot" regardless of who was home or away. Read for trend: when the market has consistently leaned Chicago Bears but Minnesota Vikings keep winning, that's a public- favorite cold streak — the kind of pattern that drives the season-long fade-target leaderboards.

Frequently asked questions

Does the public usually back the same team both times division rivals meet?

Often, and that is what makes a second meeting interesting. When the ticket count leans the same way twice and the first result went against it, the closing spread on the rematch already carries that memory. The gap between bet % and money % on the second game is the better tell than the first result.

How many times have the Chicago Bears and Minnesota Vikings played this season?

1 so far. Division rivals meet twice in the regular season, once in each stadium, so this page fills to two meetings by January and picks up a third if they draw each other in the playoffs.

Where can I see the Chicago Bears or Minnesota Vikings on their own?

Each team has its own page with season-long public betting percentages, ATS record and record as a public favorite, linked below. The game pages carry every market's split for a single meeting.

Why does the head-to-head use the closing number?

Because it is the only number every bettor could have acted on. Splits keep moving after kickoff on the source board, so a post-game read would describe the game, not the market. Every row here is the last snapshot taken before kickoff.

What do the bet % and money % columns mean on a head-to-head page?

Both are projected onto the Chicago Bears side of the spread, whichever stadium the game was in: the share of tickets on the Chicago Bears and the share of dollars, at the closing snapshot before kickoff. Reading them the same way across meetings is what makes a two-game series comparable.

Sharp vs. public money

"Sharp" money is wagering activity from sophisticated, high-volume bettors. On any single game it shows up as a money percentage that exceeds the bet percentage on the same side. Across a season-long head-to-head, a persistent gap between bet% and money% in Chicago Bears' favor or Minnesota Vikings' favor is the sharper read than the standings. See our methodology →
