Monday Night Football Betting Props: 49ers vs. Vikings
As Monday Night Football gears up in Minneapolis, all eyes are on the showdown between the Minnesota Vikings and the San Francisco 49ers. The betting world is abuzz with a 6.5-point spread favoring the 49ers and an over/under that currently sits at 43 total points.
For those pondering the over/under, lean toward the under for tonight’s game. Neither team is showing signs of an explosive offense this evening. Although an adept quarterback for the Vikings, Kirk Cousins is up against the 49ers’ elite defense. When you’re looking from the 49ers’ perspective, they aren’t necessarily gunning to dominate the Vikings on the scoreboard. Their primary goal? A solid win.
However, there are some intriguing betting opportunities for the secondary players, especially given the absence of Deebo Samuel tonight. While many eyes are on Brandon Aiyuk, with a target of 71.5 yards, it seems a bit steep. Instead, consider Jauan Jennings, with a more attainable mark of 29.5 receiving yards. Given that the defense will likely focus more on stars like George Kittle and Aiyuk, Jennings might find some breathing space to shine.
And speaking of standout players, if Christian McCaffrey is active for tonight’s game, you can bet he will make an impact. Currently, the anytime TD price for McCaffrey is -170, making it a lucrative option for betters. As for the Vikings, tight end TJ Hockenson is rapidly becoming one of Cousins’s go-to guys. With Justin Jefferson out, Hockenson’s role has only increased. The over for Hockenson stands at 5.5 total receptions, a number he’s surpassed in four out of his last six games. Just last week, he clinched six grabs for 50 yards, making him the Vikings’ leading receiver.
While the spotlight might be on the big names, the secondary players offer exciting betting opportunities tonight. Whether you’re rooting for the Vikings or the 49ers, it promises to be an exciting night of football in Minneapolis.
