The Bears and Vikings met just two weeks ago, and it wasn't a contest. Chicago won 28-10 at home, but can they duplicate that effort in Minnesota?
Predict the score prior to Sunday's Bears game. The reader who correctly guesses the score, or comes closest to guessing the score, will get a Patch T-shirt. At the end of the season, we'll have a random drawing among the weekly winners for a larger prize.
Congratulations to Mitotero, who predicted the Seahawks would beat the Bears 21-10 last week (the actual score was 23-17).
HERE’S HOW IT WORKS:
• If you’re a Patch reader, simply comment on the bottom of this article with your name and what you think the final score of the next Bears game will be. (Example: Benny Bears Fan, Bears 102, Vikings 0.)
• All entries need to be received by the start of the game. Because the Bears' game is at noon Sunday (CST), we'll need all entries by then.
• To determine the winner, we will take the difference between actual points scored and predicted score for each team, and add them up for everyone who posted in the comments section. The person whose combined total is closest to zero wins. And it doesn't matter if the points you give are higher or lower than actual points scored, we're just looking for the person who has the lowest differential.
• If two or more people tie for being the closest to the actual total of points scored, a random drawing will be held to determine the winner.
• Only one entry allowed per person. All participants must be 18 years or older. You can read our official giveaway guidelines here.
So, please, comment away. And tell your friends!
I am going with 21 Bears 20 Min. Good luck Chicago !!!!
Now with the injuries they have, and, they are such an up & down team, ya just don't know which team will show up, and I love the Bears........BUT......I have to say...... Vikings 23 - Bears 20..... (that includes 1 touchdown by the defense, of course).
Defense steps up this week
No. 6 has to play big! Bears 20 ViQueens 13
Our extreme conservatism accepts the status-quo and opposes change, no matter how beneficial it may be.. No wonder this state is broke. Throw in a little bread & circuses and everyone is content. Enough booze and drugs and we tranquilize ourselves into indifference. Maybe it is the bleak weather, but I worry about the future of our country. We buy votes with entitlements, the most educated persons vote is equal to the drunk who is dragged into the Polls.
Your response gave me a good laugh. I have renters who do this so much that I hope I never drink. As you can see, I am more into politics than sports. Maybe I have it backwards. Maybe I should stay drunk, scream for a team and just kick back.
I actually make a very valid point even if it is not shared by all. Different priorities perhaps. Can we drink to that?
Probably should not get so introspective in a column devoted to sports.
