Final: Minnesota Vikings 9–3 Chicago Bears. Wrong.

Why this pick?

Our 64% is the betting market's own price for the Chicago Bears: 2 sportsbooks' prices, averaged, with their margin taken out. It is not a secret model.

Since we locked it the market moved 2.0 points toward the Chicago Bears, and the spread went from -3.5 to -4.5.

Our last 3 graded calls on the Chicago Bears: 1 right.

At 64%, a pick like this still loses about 36 times in 100.

What we add is timing: we watch this game live and email members when the pick pulls well ahead, so they can check the cash-out at their own sportsbook.

No cash-out alert fired on this game.
