Minnesota Vikings vs San Francisco 49ers prediction: Niners will pull off a win this time

On Tuesday, NFL action will take place at US Bank Stadium, featuring a matchup between the San Francisco 49ers and the Minnesota Vikings. The San Francisco 49ers started the season undefeated but have since suffered their first defeat, which came at the hands of the Cleveland Browns last weekend. The Minnesota Vikings now have a record of 2-4 after their most recent game, in which they defeated the Chicago Bears and earned the victory. 

Minnesota Vikings - Vikings hoping to keep things rolling

The Minnesota Vikings have not had much success through the first six games of the season. The Minnesota Vikings started their season with three straight defeats, 20-17, 34-28, and 28-24, against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Philadelphia Eagles, and Los Angeles Chargers, respectively. The following week, the Minnesota Vikings defeated the Carolina Panthers by a score of 21-13; but, in Week 5, they were defeated by the Kansas City Chiefs by a score of 27-20, and they were unable to maintain any momentum. The Minnesota Vikings were able to reach the win column in their most recent game, which took place on Sunday against their rival Chicago Bears. However, it was not an easy victory. The Minnesota Vikings were able to maintain their lead from the first half, which they held to the end and won 19-13. The team was led by quarterback Kirk Cousins, who threw for 181 yards and a touchdown. Alexander Mattison contributed 44 yards on the ground after 18 carries, while TJ Hockerson gained 50 yards after catching six of his throws. The Minnesota Vikings have been unable to win any of their last eight games when they were considered underdogs against opponents from the National Football Conference. In each of their last eight games as underdogs against teams from the National Football Conference, the Minnesota Vikings have failed to cover the point spread.

San Francisco 49ers - 49ers have to do better

This year's season got off to a fantastic beginning for the San Francisco 49ers, who went through their first five games on an unbeaten streak. During that time, the San Francisco 49ers were victorious over the Pittsburgh Steelers by a score of 30-7, the Los Angeles Rams by a score of 30-23, the New York Giants by a score of 30-12, the Arizona Cardinals by a score of 35-16, and the Dallas Cowboys by a score of 42-10. The 49ers suffered their first defeat in Week 6 when they played the Cleveland Browns and were defeated in an upset by a score of 19-17. The San Francisco 49ers had a narrow lead of 10-7 against the Cleveland Browns in the first half of their game on Sunday, but after the break, the Browns outscored the 49ers 12-7. Christian McCaffrey had the most rushing yards (43), but quarterback Brock Purdy only threw for 125 yards and scored a touchdown while also throwing an interception. Purdy also had an interception. However, Brandon Aiyuk had a good game, finishing with four receptions for 76 yards. Every one of the San Francisco 49ers' most recent eight games played in Week 7 has been won by the away team. The San Francisco 49ers have been favorites in each of their last 12 games against teams from other National Football Conference divisions, and they have covered the point spread in 11 of those games.

Expert Betting Tips

Even after the tough loss they suffered on Sunday, I've decided to continue supporting the San Francisco 49ers. In a physical game that featured a total of 25 penalties, the San Francisco 49ers didn't really look like themselves offensively when playing against the Cleveland Browns. The San Francisco 49ers were only successful in three of their 12 attempts on third down, leading to a total output of just 215 yards and 15 first downs. However, the defense did a decent job of doing its job, as seen by the two takeaways it recorded and the fact that the Browns were only able to convert three of thirteen third down opportunities. In each of their last four games, San Francisco has limited its opponents to fewer than 20 points scored. The Vikings were able to pull out a victory on Sunday against a Chicago Bears squad that was struggling despite the best efforts of their offense (twelve first downs; two of thirteen on third downs). The Minnesota Twins are going to have their work cut out for them in this much tougher game, and I don't think they'll be able to stay within striking distance for very long.
