The Vikings are the favorite in this game? That is a surprise to me with how balanced the 49ers played in the game against the Packers. Look for the 49ers to play great on the road in this game and that will take care of the Vikings and San Francisco should be able to get the win in this game here. Both of these teams have a strong offense and that should make it easier to see the total hitting the over.
