Vikings vs. 49ers Prediction and Pick
People began discounting the 49ers after a slow start to their season, but even at 5-5, their statistics show that they're a better football team than their record indicates. They rank seventh in the NFL in yards per play and sixth in opponent yards per play.
Meanwhile, the Vikings have been solid on offense, ranking 13th in yards per play, but their defense leaves a lot to be desired. They rank 26th in opponent yards per play, 31st in opponent yards per carry, and 24th in opponent yards per pass attempt.
Their biggest strength on defense is their pass rush. They have the third highest sack percentage at 8.07%, but with the 49ers relying heavily on the run game, we'll see how much of a factor it will play in this game.
I expect the 49ers to slice through this Vikings defense with their run game, and I'm willing to lay the points with them at home.
