Minnesota Vikings v San Francisco 49ers NFL betting tips & preview
Two of the NFC’s best teams from last year will square off in Week 7’s Monday Night Football feature. While this year has gone very differently for both teams, it should be a fun game, and we have our best picks for Monday.
Minnesota Vikings vs San Francisco 49ers
The Vikings, despite their 2-4 record, have improved in recent weeks, winning two of their last three games. They are better than their record indicates, and though they’ll face a challenge stopping the 5-1 Niners, they should keep it close. San Francisco’s injuries are a significant factor. As of now, Christian McCaffrey, Deebo Samuel, and Trent Williams are all questionable for this game, which will significantly affect San Francisco’s offensive prowess and allow Minnesota to stay competitive at home.
Minnesota Vikings +7
Brandon Aiyuk Anytime Touchdown Scorer
One of San Francisco’s healthy stars is Brandon Aiyuk, and he has a great opportunity to exploit a vulnerable Vikings pass defense. Aiyuk caught two touchdowns in week one but hasn’t scored in his last four contests. That should change here. Aiyuk has been heavily involved in every game but has faced some bad luck when it comes to scoring. At +150 with the top bookmakers, it’s worth betting on his luck to change, especially given the injuries.

Jordan Addison Anytime Touchdown Scorer
Jordan Addison, the rookie wide receiver for the Vikings, has scored four touchdowns in six games, and the oddsmakers haven’t adjusted his line accordingly. With Justin Jefferson out, Addison has stepped up as the Vikings’ top receiver. Despite the formidable San Francisco defence, the relatively high over/under in this game suggests the Vikings should score. Take Addison to be one of the Minnesota stars to reach the endzone at +220.

Kirk Cousins Over .5 Interceptions
Vikings QB Kirk Cousins has thrown four interceptions this year but hasn’t thrown one in the past two weeks. Part of the reason for this is his reduced passing attempts. However, against the Niners, he will need to throw frequently to keep up with them. The San Francisco defence leads the league with 10 interceptions this season. Given Kirk’s tendency for risky throws, we like them to secure another one on Monday Night.
