4. Kirk Cousins will have an efficient game for the Vikings

In recent weeks, Kirk Cousins has put up solid numbers for the Vikings and they'll need him to keep this up against Chicago in Week 15. As he continues to play at a high level and lead Minnesota to some big wins, Cousins must not lose his composure as each game is a potential deal breaker for the Vikings for the rest of the season.

Considering the struggles the Bears have had on defense this season, Cousins should be able to have a productive day for the Vikings. His play under center as of late has been vital to Minnesota's recent run of success. As the Vikings fight tirelessly to return to the postseason, lookout for a big game from Cousins in Week 15.

3. Dalvin Cook will have another big day for Minnesota

Coming off a stellar performance against the Steelers where he posted 205 rushing yards on 27 carries to go along with two touchdowns, Dalvin Cook will be looking to follow up with another strong showing against the Bears. As one of the best dual threat running backs in the league, Cook has shown time and again what he's capable of when his team needs a huge boost out of the backfield.

During their pivotal NFC North duel with the Bears, the Vikings will aim to dominate Chicago on the rushing front and that dominance starts with Cook giving them a ton of production. So watch out for Cook to have another big day against the Bears on Sunday as the Vikings look to knock off another division rival.

2. Bashaud Breeland and Eric Kendricks will disrupt Chicago's offensive game plan

After a powerful defensive display against the Steelers last Thursday night, the Vikings will look to build on this success against a lowly Bears team that's fallen out of the playoff mix. Last week Bashaud Breeland and Eric Kendricks set the tone for them defensively when they combined for 12 tackles and came up with a sack and an interception that turned things around quickly for Minnesota as they built a 29-0 lead. If they want to continue this trend and keep up with their defensive aggression, then they'll need another big night from Breeland and Kendricks.

1. The Vikings will beat the Bears in dominating fashion

In their continued quest to get back to .500 on the year and stay alive in the highly competitive NFC wild card race, the pressure will be on for Minnesota to pull out another crucial victory. With the Vikings rising to the occasion and starting to find their groove late into the season, there's no doubt that the Vikings will be able to come away with another timely win against their long-time division rival. Now that they're locked in and starting to get their act together, the Vikings will be out with a vengeance as they aim to overtake Chicago in Week 15.
