Vikings vs. 49ers Player Prop

49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk Over 65.5 Receiving Yards (-110)

The 49ers succumbed to a tough matchup against a very good Cleveland Browns defense last week, and Aiyuk still went over 65.5 receiving yards by recording 4 catches for 76 yards. He has gone over 65.5 yards in three of five games this year while holding a 90.8-yard average and a mean of 76.

This is one of Aiyuk’s best matchups of the season, as the Vikings have allowed the fourth-most yards to wide receivers last season. The last time he had a matchup as good as this was Week 4 against the Arizona Cardinals, who have allowed the third-most yards to receivers. Aiyuk went for 6-148 in that game.

There’s a decent chance he flirts with the century mark in this MNF matchup.

The Prop: Brandon Aiyuk Over 65.5 Receiving Yards | -110 at Bet365

Vikings vs. 49ers Predictions

From the time the lines were first released, San Francisco has gone from being 7-point favorites to their current line of -6.5.

Minnesota isn’t a bad team. Sure, the Vikings’ defense can get out of sorts at times, but Minnesota is experiencing a ton of regression in terms of turnovers and close games. Even with Justin Jefferson on the sideline, Minnesota has enough firepower to keep this one close at home. We are taking the Vikings to cover the spread here.

The Pick: Vikings +6.5 | -108 at Fanduel Sportsbook
