Chicago is 0-5-1 ATS before playing Minnesota Chicago not only lost to Houston at home last Sunday night, 13-6 (laying 1), but also lost quarterback Jay Cutler to a concussion. With Cutler unlikely to play, the Bears will now have to turn to QB Jason Campbell, who is serviceable, but now has to face another very good defense. The Niners rank 5th against the pass (196.8ypg) and 7th against the run (95.3ypg). The Niners also lost QB Alex Smith (concussion) last week in their 24-24 tie with the Rams, but he could play Monday night. Colin Kaepernick is a better option than Campbell.
