49ers vs. Vikings Betting Preview
Minnesota has a chance to really get back into things if they can win on Monday Night Football here. The Vikings are 2-4 and have a couple of winnable games upcoming. Minnesota, though will have to do so without their top receiver Justin Jefferson, who is on the NFL Injury List for at least three more games. Jefferson leads the team with 571 receiving yards.
Minnesota is going to need to figure out their run game. Alexander Mattison remains the top running back, with 320 yards, but Cam Akers is now also getting involved. Minnesota ranks 30th in all of the league with just 75 yards per game. That puts a ton of pressure on Kirk Cousins and his arm, which is leading Minnesota to third in the league with 275 yards per game.
The Vikings will play back-to-back road games and three of their next four on the road. Those games are at the Packers, at the Falcons, and then at the Broncos, following a home game against the Saints. After that, Minnesota gets the Bears again on Thanksgiving weekend.
49ers’ Defensive Dominance
Speaking of the best offensive players missing the game, Christian McCaffrey of the 49ers may miss this game. He left the loss to the Browns with an oblique injury and did not return. That would be a massive loss for the 49ers, as his NFL Player Stats have him with 110 carries for 553 yards and 7 touchdowns.
Brock Purdy had his worst game of the season against the Browns. Now, Purdy has 1,396 yards passing, 10 touchdowns and an interception. Brandon Aiyuk is the top threat for the 49ers so far this season, with 2 touchdowns. The 49ers rank as the best defensive team in the league according to NFL Team Stats, allowing just 14.5 points per game.
The 49ers go home after this game and take on the Cincinnati Bengals before their bye week.
San Francisco 49ers vs. Minnesota Vikings Betting Prediction
We expect a really good game here, but in the end, the 49ers are the better team. The 49ers will struggle with really tough, defensive teams. That is not Minnesota. Look for McCaffrey to play, and the 49ers to win by 10. Bet San Francisco -6.5.
That is our final 49ers vs Vikings Betting Analysis. Hope you enjoy all our NFL Picks!
