Preview:
Fresh from an upset over the Saints as +8 underdogs, the Vikings now head to San Francisco laying +7 on Sunday hoping for a repeat performance.
Minnesota shocked the world last week with an overtime upset against one of the NFC’s top dogs.
Kirk Cousins’ 242-yard, one touchdown stat line wasn’t pretty – but like we’ve seen time and time again this season, the Vikings’ multi-million man came up clutch with a huge 43-yard completion to set up the game-winning field goal.
San Francisco would have watched last week’s game with delight knowing they now face a Minnesota team that won only four games on the road during the regular season. That said, Niners defensive coordinator Robert Saleh also has his hands full against one of the most talented offensive rosters in the league.
Niners fans can rest easy knowing they’ve allowed the fewest passing yards in the league. The Vikings do pose a serious threat on the ground however, as Dalvin Cook prepares to face San Francisco for only the second time in his career.
Defensively the 49ers hold the advantage in this matchup, while things are almost even on the offensive side of the ball.
Plenty is being made of Cousins’ resiliency and whether the Vikings’ offensive line can keep him clean. Keep in mind though, Minnesota allowed the sixth-fewest sacks in the league this year, meaning the Vikings could easily put up some points in this game.
The Niners allowed an average of 20.8 points to opponents at home this year, while the Vikings scored an average of 26.5 on the road.
San Francisco is also 1-2 straight-up following a bye since 2017, so with all that in mind, play it safe on Minnesota.
Odds:
Tip: San Francisco 49ers at $1.28
