49ers vs. Vikings key players to watch

San Francisco 49ers

Brandon Aiyuk: If Christian McCaffrey and Deebo Samuel are both out for this game, all the pressure will be on the shoulders of Brandon Aiyuk. He's been having a career year, racking up 454 yards and two touchdowns through his first five games, but now he's going to be expected to take yet another step forward if the offense needs to rely on him to move the ball down the field against the Vikings.

Minnesota Vikings

Kirk Cousins: Much has been made about Kirk Cousins' record in prime time, and he already has a lost earlier this season against the Philadelphia Eagles. He has a chance to quiet the haters by beating arguably the best team in the NFL on Monday Night Football. Let's see if he can live up to the challenge.

49ers vs. Vikings prediction and pick

I've been betting on the Vikings virtually every week this season and I don't plan on stopping now. They continue to outperform their current record and are even sitting seventh in the NFL in Net Yards per Play heading into week 7.

Meanwhile, it seems like the 49ers are in a great spot to sell high. After looking like the best team in the NFL before Week 6, they have their three best players on the injury report and are due for a bit of a dip in their production.

Do the Vikings win outright? Hard to say, but they're a fantastic bet against the spread getting this many points at home.
