49ers vs Vikings Predictions Start at +190
That rarely happens, and it means this game is less about who is better and more about who is priced right. The Minnesota Vikings visit the San Francisco 49ers at Estadio Banorte in Week 11 on Sunday, November 22, at 8:20 PM ET on NBC. The quarterback news on one side could shape everything.
The Matchup
As of November 11, the Vikings are 6-2 and sit 3rd of 4 in the NFC North. The 49ers are 7-1 and sit 1st of 4 in the NFC West. Both teams are winning. The difference is that the Vikings are chasing inside their division while the 49ers are setting the pace in theirs. Those records are a snapshot from publication, not a promise of where either team stands at kickoff.
Players to Watch
Brock Purdy drives the 49ers. Over eight games he has completed 163 of 236 passes for 1,980 yards, 17 touchdowns and 5 interceptions. That works out to 247.5 yards and 2.1 touchdowns per game, which is steady, efficient production. For the Vikings, Aaron Jones Sr. leads the ground game with 474 yards and 2 touchdowns on 115 carries over eight games, about 59.3 yards per game. If Jones keeps the Vikings ahead of schedule, they can shorten the game and keep Purdy on the sideline.
Who Is Favored to Win Vikings vs 49ers?
The moneyline is a bet on who wins, nothing else. The 49ers are the favorite at -205 (best at DraftKings). The minus sign means you risk more than you profit, so a $100 bet profits $48.78. The Vikings are the underdog at +190 (best at FanDuel), so $100 profits $190. The Vikings vs 49ers spread is a separate bet on the margin. The Vikings at +3.5 (-105, DraftKings) win if they win outright or lose by 3 or fewer, and a 4-point loss sinks it.
The 49ers at -3.5 (-114, Caesars) must win by 4 or more. The total of 45.5 is a bet on combined points: Over at -109 (BetRivers) or Under at -105 (bet365). Prices like -105 include the sportsbook's fee, called the vig. Strip it out and the Vikings vs 49ers odds read about 65.7% for the 49ers to win and 34.3% for the Vikings. Every price above is the best we found across the books we track.
Where the Value Is
Every price has a break-even, the win rate where you neither make nor lose money over time. Expected value is the average result per bet if you could play it many times. Vikings +190 breaks even at 34.5%. Nothing on this board is positive. The Vikings moneyline gives up the least.
Is Kyler Murray Playing? Injuries
Kyler Murray is listed Doubtful, and we are treating him as absent. Carson Wentz is listed Active. Jauan Jennings, Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins and Theo Jackson are Questionable, and Demond Claiborne is on Injured Reserve. For the 49ers, Brandon Aiyuk is Out. Christian Kirk, Gracen Halton and C.J. West are on Injured Reserve. Mike Evans, Deebo Samuel Sr. and Deommodore Lenoir are Questionable. Christian McCaffrey and George Kittle are Active. Questionable means uncertain, so check the final designations before kickoff on Sunday.
The Pick
Our pick is the Vikings moneyline at +190 at FanDuel. To be clear, this is a near break-even play, not a positive one. Use a small stake and only the best number. Anything shorter than +190 is a pass.

The Prediction
We expect a grinding game. Jones keeps the Vikings on schedule. The 49ers have a thin receiving room, with Aiyuk out and Evans and Samuel questionable, so Purdy has fewer clean options. Our projection is Vikings 23, 49ers 20. That adds up to 43 points, under the 45.5 total. That is our read on this number.
