The NFL offers up a pair of games for Week 15 Monday Night Football, as Kirk Cousins and the Minnesota Vikings host Caleb Williams and the Chicago Bears, plus Maxx Crosby and the Las Vegas Raiders hosting Kirk Cousins and the Atlanta Falcons. 

The Vikings are favored by 6.5 points at NFL odds over their NFC North rivals, while the Falcons are at -3.5 on the road in Vegas. 

Bookies.com veteran NFL handicapper Adam Thompson – who has hit on a whopping 60.2% of his NFL picks five years running, reveals his favorites plays for the Monday Night Football Week 15 twinbill.

Monday Night Football Betting Predictions

Bears vs. Vikings Point Spread

The Bears are on a seven-game losing streak and haven’t won on the road all year. They’re also coming off a 25-point drubbing on the road against the injury plagued 49ers. The defense, once a strength, looked lost last week with interim coach Thomas Brown now in charge. Minnesota seems to have a few lucky wins, but we can’t deny it’s won five straight with an offense that can overwhelm. Back the Vikings at a great number here. 

Falcons vs. Raiders Point Spread

The Falcons have dropped four straight as the offense, expected to carry the defense, hasn’t formed into the unit we expected. Meanwhile, Desmond Ridder gets his “revenge game” moment against the team that drafted him, then cut him after two seasons. There’s little reason to expect a breakout moment for the Vegas offense, but it’s the defense, which pressures QBs with the best of them, that can keep it close to the end. Cousins’ QB Rating of 60 under pressure is 40 points lower than his rating in a clean pocket. Go with the Raiders and take those points at home.

Falcons vs. Raiders Over/Under

Ridder-led offenses don’t score many points. When he was guiding his old team, the Falcons, the total score went over 40 points just one time in 11 starts. The Raiders are led by their pressuring defense, which could give Cousins major issues. It’s very possible neither team gets to 20 points here. It’s why we like taking the points on the underdog, but also why we like the Under, especially with the total of 44.5. 

Bears vs. Vikings Top Player Prop

Sam Darnold

The Bears pass D was a mess against the 49ers and Brock Purdy, who went off for 325 yards last week vs. this secondary. Darnold can have similar success, and it would behoove the Vikings. Chicago remains steadfast vs. the run, so passing is the key to rolling over Chicago. Darnold threw for 330 yards in the Windy City. Now he’s in his home dome against a spiraling unit.
