49ers vs. Vikings: Picks
The San Francisco 49ers are set to have some key players on offense out with an injury. Although Christian McCaffrey is set to play, he may be in a limited role. With that, expect George Kittle to get more of a role, especially with Deebo Samuel out.
Take Kittle over 47.5 receiving yards in this one, as the tight end has gone over this number in two of the last four games but will be used more here with some injuries on offense.
The other pick is taking Minnesota Vikings kicker Greg Joseph to make over 1.5 field goals at +135. The 49ers have a great defense that will limit Minnesota's offense, so they will have to settle for field goals. Joseph has gone two straight games hitting two or more, while the 49ers are allowing opposing kickers to go over this number in three of their last five games.
