The Chicago Bears and Minnesota Vikings will kick off a Monday night doubleheader in NFL Week 15 with an NFC North showdown at U.S. Bank Stadium at 8 p.m. ET on ABC.

Beyond spread and total bets, I'm looking at Bears vs. Vikings anytime touchdown scorers and have a pick for each team on Monday Night Football.

Here are my two anytime touchdown scorer bets for tonight.

Bears vs. Vikings Anytime Touchdown Props

  • DJ Moore Anytime Touchdown (+220, bet365)
  • T.J. Hockenson Anytime Touchdown (+240, FanDuel)

DJ Moore had a relatively quiet game last week against the 49ers, but the Bears couldn't get much of anything going on offense.

Moore will continue to be the go-to guy for Caleb Williams, and this should be a decent bounce-back spot. Since Thomas Brown has taken over play-calling, Moore has a 28% target share and at least six catches in each game.

The Vikings defense has been decent this season, but they still give up a ton of plays to opposing wide receivers. Minnesota ranks last in catches and yards allowed to wideouts and has given up 14 touchdowns to the position (24th in the NFL).

When these teams met just a few weeks ago, Moore had seven catches and a touchdown.

Not to mention, Vikings CB Stephon Gilmore was limited all week in practice.

All signs point to this price being too low for Moore on Monday night.

T.J. Hockenson has yet to find the end zone in six games since his return from injury, but this could be the game he pops.

Hockenson has four red-zone targets over the last two games, including an end-zone target in each game.

When these teams met a few weeks back, Hockenson had his best game of the season, totaling seven catches on nine targets for 114 receiving yards.

The Bears have been susceptible to tight ends of late. George Kittle went off for 150 yards last week, and Sam LaPorta had some success as well with two touchdowns on Thanksgiving.

You could definitely consider a long shot on TE2 Josh Oliver, but I think it's Hockenson's turn to find paydirt this week.
