I can't lay the points with Minnesota here and it's not just because Jay Cutler is back. The number is simply too high to accommodate expectations of all the public laying the road chalk. I want no part of that stuff, and I certainly don't want any part of taking the perceived value with the Bears at home. What I think I can rely on is the Vikings' defense to be a beast again and their offense to be extremely vanilla, again. Sounds like the perfect recipe for a low-scoring game.

The Bears are getting back Jay Cutler at QB, which on the surface looks like it’ll stabilize the offense. But do you trust Cutler and this Bears' offense going up against an angry Vikings team coming off its first loss? I didn't think so.
