Vikings Bears – Picking the Best Player Props

Andrew Van Ginkel records one sack (-114)

On paper, a Vikings matchup is a brutal moment for Caleb Williams.

Williams has collected the most sacks in the NFL (56) and the Vikings have generated the second-highest pressure rate (25.8%). Minnesota has by far the highest blitz rate in the NFL (38.7%). Against the Lightning this season, Williams has recorded the third-most sacks (18), according to PFF.

Enter Andrew Van Ginkel.

Van Ginkel is having an outstanding season for Minnesota and is a quarterback threat as he recorded 9 sacks and 15 QB hits this year.

When these two teams met in Chicago in Week 11, Van Ginkel had two QB hits and a sack. Williams was sacked three times in that game.

Van Ginkel has played at least 72% of snaps in 10 straight games, and I like his chances of getting home against Williams today.

D’Andre Swift over 12.5 receiving yards (-110)

One consequence of Minnesota putting so much pressure on the QBs is that opposing signal callers usually try to get rid of the ball quickly, which can lead to the running backs having more points of attack.

This season, Minnesota has allowed the ninth-most goals per game to running backs (6.1).

In Week 11, D’Andre Swift handled four targets and caught three of them for 35 yards. He has recorded at least 13 receiving yards in 9 of 13 games, including all four indoor games he has played this year, for an average of 28.0 receiving yards per game this split.

This season, Swift is averaging 24.2 receiving yards per game, and the underdog Bears (+7.0) could have to throw for a lot of yards tonight.

According to our NFL player projections, Swift has 16.3 receiving yards.

Aaron Jones scores a touchdown (-110)

The Bears have a solid defense but have struggled to contain the running backs.

For the season, Chicago has allowed RBs exactly 1.0 rushing touchdowns per game, in addition to 148.6 total yards per game at the position.

In the previous matchup between these teams, Aaron Jones had 106 rushing yards and 23 receiving yards, scoring a score while also fumbling at the goal line for another scoring opportunity.

Jones’ rushing plus receiving yards prop rating is 85.5, so he’s expected to be busy tonight. With the Vikings having a total score of 26.5 and Minnesota being the 7.0-point favorite, the playing conditions are good for Jones to succeed. I want him to score a TD at that -110 odds.
