The Bears are currently the Vikings biggest divisional threat.

On November 29th, when the Vikings face the Bears for the first time this season, they will be playing at a different time than originally scheduled. 

The Week 12 matchup at the Dome will now be played at 4:15 E.T. as FOX exercised it’s right to flex a game into that time slot. 

While FOX is doubtless hoping the Bears will be be back into the division race by that time, it is likely that the game has little drama involved.

Between now and then, the Vikings get to host the Lions and Seahwaks.  The Bears have to play in San Francisco and then host the Eagles.

The odds are good that the Vikings extend their three game lead on the Bears to four or five games by the time we even play them.
