Die Vorhersage war falsch. Die Minnesota Vikings besiegten die Chicago Bears am 20. September 2026 in Soldier Field mit 9:3. Trotz der erwarteten Bears-Heimstärke und der günstigen Buchmacherquoten gewannen die Vikings das torlose Spiel (nur Field Goals) dank überlegener Defense (4 Sacks auf Caleb Williams, der zudem mit einer Oberschenkelzerrung verletzt ausschied) und Will Reichards drei Field Goals. Die Bears fielen auf 1-1, die Vikings verbesserten sich auf 2-0.

Mercedes leads the constructors' standings with 630 points over Ferrari (504) by a 126-point margin (as of Nov 8, 2026; source: grandepremio.com / skysports.com). According to grandepremio.com, the Las Vegas GP (Nov 20–22) is the earliest possible race for a mathematical title decision: a lead of ≥86 points after the race would clinch the constructors' title early. With four remaining races (Brazil, Las Vegas, Qatar, Abu Dhabi) and this cushion, even a mediocre Las Vegas result suffices. Bookmaker odds imply >85% for Mercedes' 2026 constructors' title.

Bookmaker odds imply ~38% win probability for Max Verstappen (moneyline +160). He won the São Paulo GP today and holds the Las Vegas track record from 2025, where he dominated by ~20 seconds. Since Kimi Antonelli (Mercedes) already secured the 2026 World Championship in Mexico, the remaining battle is for 2nd in the standings between Verstappen, Russell, Hamilton and Leclerc (within ~9 points). Verstappen is highly motivated to collect wins. Competition: George Russell +400, Kimi Antonelli +700, Lewis Hamilton +2800. The night race on the Las Vegas Strip historically favors Red Bull and Verstappen's driving style.
