Week 2 NFL picks for 49ers vs. Vikings
Before tuning into Sunday's Vikings vs. 49ers game, you need to see the NFL picks from SportsLine's advanced computer model. The model, which simulates every NFL game 10,000 times, is up well over $7,000 for $100 players on top-rated NFL picks since its inception. The model enters Week 2 of the 2024 NFL season on an incredible 184-130 run on top-rated NFL picks that dates back to the 2017 season. It is also on a 38-22 roll on top-rated NFL betting picks since Week 7 of 2022.
For Vikings vs. 49ers, the model is backing San Francisco to cover the spread. Kyle Shanahan's team looked like a repeat Super Bowl contender on Monday night as they dominated on both sides of the ball. Even if McCaffrey is unable to play in Week 2, the Niners have a more than capable back-up in Jordan Mason plus help from dual threat Deebo Samuel.
Darnold and the Vikings offense will be going up against a much better defense than they saw in Week 1, and they could be without No. 2 receiver Jordan Addison due to an ankle injury. Justin Jefferson remains the biggest offensive threat to SF's defense, and he could be Minnesota's chance of keeping this game close. You may be able to stream the game here.
