As you begin your preparations for NFL prop betting in Week 12, take a stop over at the San Francisco offense to find some betting value.
The 49ers will host the Vikings on Sunday afternoon in one of the higher projected over/unders of the week.
One area of the offense, in particular, should be in for a big game against a Vikings defense that gives up yards in chunks.
The Niners Receivers Are Stacking Big Games
The 49ers have won two straight games, with the offense putting up 30+ points in both contests.
A big factor in these wins has been the steadying presence of their pass-catchers, led by Deebo Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk.
Two weeks ago, Samuel hauled in five balls for 97 yards, and last week was Aiyuk’s turn, finishing with seven catches for 85 yards.
With these two continuing to impact games, we can expect the same in Week 12. They are both comfortable NFL prop betting targets.
BetPrep projects Samuel’s over/under at 84.5 yards and Aiyuk at just 50.5 yards. Aiyuk’s page brings in a positive trend as well, so consider the WR2 in San Francisco on Sunday thanks to a favorable matchup against Minnesota.

The Vikings Against WRs
The reason the Vikings’ defense popped up as a potential prop target was their generosity to yards from receivers.
Minnesota currently allows the second-most receiving yards per game to receivers at 195. Just last week, the Vikings allowed the Packers to finish with a mammoth 296 receiving yards.
With leaks sprouting, target this defense on Sunday and keep an eye on them for the rest of the season.
Just a few weeks prior, this same Minnesota secondary gave up 325 yards to Cowboys receivers. This is a vulnerable defense that is consistently generous to WR performance. Plan your bets accordingly!
