Vikings open as underdogs against the 49ers

Can the Vikings pull off yet another upset?

Minnesota and San Francisco are trending in the right direction.

The Vikings pulled off upset victories against the Chargers and the Packers in back-to-back weeks.

The 49ers upset the Rams in Week 10. While San Francisco’s Week 11 win over Jacksonville cannot be considered an upset, it was still a resounding victory.

The Vikings and 49ers both currently reside at 5-5. Barring a tie, one of these teams will notch a winning record after Week 12. The market favors the 49ers to do so.

According to Tipico Sportsbook, San Francisco is favored by 3.5 points (-170) to beat Minnesota on Sunday.

The 49ers are at home, but the Vikings’ more recent victories were arguably more impressive. It’s hard to say what will happen on Sunday.
