The Vikings are touchdown underdogs at home against one of the NFL's elite teams.
That's what Kevin O'Connell's 2-4 team is going to attempt to do against the 5-1 49ers, who are fired up after their first loss of the season last weekend. One of the NFL's elite, Super Bowl-contending teams is in Minneapolis looking to keep pace with the Eagles atop the NFC. In primetime, all eyes will be on the Vikings as they try to pull off the upset at seven-point underdogs.. The league's No.
In the Kirk Cousins era, the Vikings are 2-8 outright when they've been underdogs by at least six points. They're 1-8 as underdogs in night games. It's going to take something unexpected for them to pull this off. Can they do it? Let's start with my prediction and then dive into some picks from national analysts. Spoiler alert: There isn't much faith in O'Connell's team.Injuries to Williams and Samuel help the Vikings' upset case a little bit, but there's no way I can bring myself to predict it. This is a Minnesota team that has needed defensive touchdowns to survive against the Panthers and Bears in its only two wins of the season.
