The San Francisco 49ers’ preseason got off to a good start with a 28-21 win over the Green Bay Packers, and now they will face another team that has been a regular opponent in recent seasons: the Minnesota Vikings. However, that Week 1 victory has certain points to address.
The 49ers were outgained in many ways in their previous outing, including first downs (19 to 17), total yards (437 vs. 328), quarterback takedowns (3 vs. 1) and possession (31:36 vs. 28:24). The three interceptions against Green Bay were the main reason for their victory, so take only the result into account would be a mistake on their part.
Betting on the Minnesota Vikings
- Record: 0-1-0
- Spread: -4.5
- Moneyline: -210
- Over/Under: 40
The Vikings began this preseason with a 20-26 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 1, but despite that negative result, the team left a good feeling heading into this new matchup.
In almost every way, the game against the Raiders was evenly matched, and even though they were outscored in possession by exactly 8:00 minutes,Minnesota did not let this translate into a large difference on the scoreboard or in the stats, being outgained by only two total yards, and will now look to add their first win at home.
JefeBet Prediction
The previous meeting between these two teams was won by the 49ers, 34-26. However, we believe that this time will be different, and that the action will benefit the Vikings, who made a good first impression in their previous match.
The 49ers demonstrated that they still have room for improvement, but we don’t expect to see any differences in this away game.
