Vikings vs. 49ers staff preview and predictions

The Vikings Wire staff teamed up with 49ers wire to pick Monday night’s game between the San Francisco 49ers and Minnesota Vikings

The Minnesota Vikings are going to be desperate for a win on Monday night when they take on the San Francisco 49ers. Sitting at 2-4, they are only a game out of a wild card spot and that isn’t too bad considering the circumstances.

The play of the Vikings so far this season has been quality. The underlying metrics believe that the Vikings are a good football team and their play has matched that. The biggest factor of the Vikings’ poor start? Turnovers.

The Vikings have turned the ball over 13 times with a negative seven turnover differential. Going into Monday’s game, our staff teamed up with 49ers Wire to give our predictions for the game.
